About the webinar:
This presentation will describe my efforts over the past 15 years to encourage effective self-regulated learning with children in digital game-based learning environments. Self-regulated learning can be described as the effective regulation of one’s own learning in the pursuit of personal goals. It is a multi-faceted construct involving the coordination of cognitive, metacognitive, motivational, and affective facets. Encouraging the many components of self-regulation is no easy task, however digital game-based environments offer the promise of providing real-time feedback, customized scaffolds, trace data, creative narratives, and gamified contexts from which to encourage engagement. I will describe both results from prior projects and also an overview of our current project, Missions with Monty, that is attempting to encourage science literacy with 5th grade students.
