Presentation for the course on self-regulated learning taught at the Master's program in learning, education and technology at the University of Oulu, Finland.
1. COLLABORATION
PHASE II
Self-regulated
and strategic
learning
2. THE CASE
A young teacher of the English language
in 5th grade is very enthusiastic about
teaching.
He likes to give various tasks to his
students, and always helps students to
accomplish them during the lesson.
3. THE CASE
He gives home task usually already in the
end of the lesson, when the bell is ringing.
Sometimes he doesn’t even say it aloud,
just writes down on the blackboard.
In the textbook all the tasks are explained
in English, and sometimes students can’t
fully understand them.
4. THE CASE
Some students do the task not the way the
teacher was expecting them to do it, and
some other students don’t do the task at all
because they don’t know how and think they
will do it wrong anyway.
Though, there are students who cope with
home tasks well. The teacher wonders why
some of his students are so active and
successful during lessons, but have
difficulties with doing their home task.
