The ability to self-regulate learning (SRL) has been shown to be important for success in and out of school, as well as for lifelong learning. However, many students do not self-regulate their learning effectively and misjudge their competencies in this regard. At the same time, most teachers promote SRL in their teaching only to a limited extent. This is despite the fact that the diagnosis and promotion of SRL competences is becoming increasingly important due to educational innovations (e.g. digitalisation, individualisation) or in the context of distance learning. Therefore, schools need support in the task of preparing students for an active and self-determined life in the future. This is where this project comes in, by providing lower secondary schools (from year 7) with a scientifically tested and at the same time practical online tool ("Werde lernstark!") for the diagnosis of SRL. Students can use the online tool to identify their strengths and weaknesses in SRL and receive individualised learning tips for further developing their SRL skills.
Teachers can compare their personal diagnostic assessments with the test scores achieved by the students in the online tool and receive concrete advice for the specific support of the SRL of their class. In a pilot study, a first version of the online tool was designed, tested and discussed with teachers and students. In the main study now planned, the revised version of the online tool will be used and tested on a larger sample in Germany and Switzerland. Through a close science-practice cooperation, the mutual transfer of knowledge should be supported and both students and teachers can gain knowledge and experience of SRL, which should have a positive effect on individual learning progress and the development of teaching.
