15 Self-Regulated Learning: What It Can Look Like

Educators believe that “no gifted individual is exactly the same” (National Association for Gifted Children). The traits “independence in work and study” and “diverse interest and abilities” were of special interest in a study conducted in a Singapore school for high ability learners. This study focused on using self-regulated learning and differentiated instruction strategies to improve the learning of mathematics for girls ages 13-15. The communication between students and teacher was leveraged on the Google learning platform to provide effective feedback regarding the students’ progress. This method enabled teachers to better prepare the instructional materials for subsequent lessons.
