Assignment: Forethought phase
Assignment: Forethought phase
The activity: Work in groups of 2 (max. 3). Pick a question from the sheet and ask it to your peer. If this leads to a short answer that is all right, but please feel free to ask follow up questions or open a conversation about the card. You don't necessarily have to make up all the cards. Take your time to discuss.
Result: You have thought about different aspects of the forethought phase considering your MRP
Time: 20 minutes

Self-regulation
What is self-regulation?
‘The degree that individuals are metacognitively, motivationally and behaviourally active participants in their own learning process’ (Zimmerman, 1996)
This can be translated into 3 cyclical phases
Self-regulation
Self-regulation
How can I benefit from this?
Self-regulatory strategies can improve your academic achievement and growth by taking ownership of your learning process: you are able to set clear goals for yourself, monitor your progress and reflect on your performance based on these goals and strategies.
Result: Less stress and/or anxiety, more motivation, more confidence, more pleasure, more focus / determination, more self-knowledge, etc…
