Research Conference 2022 - Masterclass 1

Masterclass 1: Using assessment to develop student self-regulated learning

Friday 26 August 9:00am – 1:00pm
Led by Katie Richardson, Fabienne van der Kleij, and Claire Scoular

In this Masterclass, participants will be shown how assessment can be used to develop student self-regulated learning. We examine self-regulated learning and its links with assessment. Participants will reflect on the role of metacognition and motivation in learning and develop capability in supporting students to set goals, seek help, respond to feedback and use self-assessment. We discuss co-regulated learning in relation to classroom and peer-assessment. Participants will collaborate with each other to design and evaluate strategies for developing self-regulated learning in students and investigate how these strategies strengthen the foundations for life-long learning. The presenters will review learning progressions and show how understanding and identifying them supports the development of self-regulated learning. 

After this Masterclass, participants will be able to: 

• evaluate factors that enable self-regulated learning to be developed 
• appraise strategies to help students develop self-regulated learning to inform decisions around learning, teaching and assessment investigate and use tools, such as checklists, rubrics, progressions and exemplars, in supporting student self- and co-regulated learning 
• collaborate with colleagues to optimise strategies for developing student self- and co-regulated learning.
