Self-Regulation with Agency
Abstract
In this chapter, we review the research on self-regulation and comprehension. Based on careful review of the definitions and characteristics of self-regulation, we propose that student agency has been more commonly used to describe many of the same elements that have previously been referred to only as self-regulation. To that end, we review the work on student agency and comprehension. Regardless of whether student agency of self-regulation is used, we argue that we need more actual implementation in P-12 settings.
