Assignment #3: Applying Self-Regulated Learning

Relying on information learned and read in this course and at least  two (2) outside references, write a three to five (3-5) page report that  reflects on how to incorporate self-regulated learning as a  motivational approach and answers the following:

1. Describe one (1) topic that you are currently attempting to learn. Explore your motivation for learning about the chosen topic.
2. Describe each phase of the self-regulated learning (SRL) approach to learning.
3. Describe two (2) benefits and two (2) challenges that may be associated with self-regulated learning.
4. Apply self-regulated learning to the topic you want to learn.  Outline a strategy to apply self-regulated learning to improve this  learning situation. Include the main activities that you would use in  each phase (i.e., forethought, performance, and self-reflection). Note:  Refer to Table 9.3 on page 330 of the textbook for further  clarification.

The format of the report is to be as follows:

• Typed, double spaced, Times New Roman font (size 12), one inch margins on all sides, APA format.
• Use headers for each of the subjects being covered, followed by your response.
• In addition to the three to five (3-5) pages required, a title page  is to be included. The title page is to contain the title of the  assignment, your name, the instructor’s name, the course title, and the  date.

Note: You will be graded on the quality of your  answers, the logic/organization of the report, your language skills, and  your writing skills.
