Self-Regulation in Education

"Because schools haphazardly teach study tactics and skills for solving information problems, learners need to become productive self-regulating learners. What is SRL, really? How do SRL and self-regulation articulate? When and why should learners apply these tools, and how can we help learners develop them? Synthesizing the spectrum of modern research, Greene expertly integrates accounts of mechanisms with careful analyses of findings and interventions. His book is not just a good read, it is fruitful, as well."
—Philip Winne, Professor, Faculty of Education, Simon Fraser University, Canada

"Greene, a leading scholar on self-regulation with a long history of professional success, a proliferate writer, and an extraordinary and charismatic educator, mesmerizes [and] places his readers in a situation in which they are called to actions. . . . Self-Regulation in Education is an inordinate book that should be on the desk of every educator and learner."
—Hefer Bembenutty, Assistant Professor of Educational Psychology in the Department of Secondary and Youth Services at Queens College of the City University of New York, USA

"A great resource for audiences who want an understanding of self-regulation that goes beyond a discussion of strategies and interventions, painting a broader picture of the topic through the lens of educational psychology. With self-regulation skills being increasingly necessary for student success in school and their future careers, this book would be particularly useful to educators and educational researchers, providing them with the fundamentals of self-regulation, an explanation of its uses, and suggestions for the application of effective interventions . . . a must-read . . . concise and accessible to readers who are not experts in this field."
