L’apprentissage autorégulé : quand la métacognition orchestre motivation, volition et cognition by Mireille Houart

“…Indeed, this model should allow the education stakeholders to mobilize the knowledge acquired about these different concepts, to identify in which part of the learning process the students’ difficulties lie and then to support them in a targeted way towards more autonomous learning.Including metacognition in a model of self-regulated learning preserves the essential components of metacognition in order to design pedagogical actions : metacognitive strategies, metacognitive knowledge and metacognitive experiences.Integrating volition into our model offers the advantage of allowing teachers to take account of a difficulty encountered by a majority of students at present (starting work and remaining focused), and therefore helping them to act pedagogically.Our objective here is to describe this model in theory and in practice. …”
