I discovered that I use, both Declarative, Procedural, and Conditional Knowledge and Regulation of Knowledge, Planning, Information Management strategies, comprehension monitoring, debugging strategies and evaluation.

    In a guided self-assessment of study habits and strategies, ED 3100 students have been challenged to embark on a journey of self-exploration in an effort to better understand our own learning processes, as well as determine how different methods of studying and learning may affect our overall success. Dr. Demars (2015) explains that exploration and knowledge of our own techniques and learning strategies will then empower us, as future educators, to facilitate the same attributes in our students. She emphasizes that the better we (as teachers) understand our own learning processes, the better we can understand those of our students, and consequently help them self-assess to achieve a better understanding of their own learning. Although this exploration has raised many questions for me, there were key themes that stood out amongst others.

There is much debate as to whether or not different elements of SRL should be measured as one single construct or separate aspects of importance. As SRL is a process between reciprocally related cognitive and affective components they must be researched together and separately. This study will look at two aspects of SRL and try to identify variables that effect them and students learning.…
