Lin, J-W.; Lai, Y-C.; Lai, Y-C.; Chang, L-C. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2016
Most systems for training self-regulated learning (SRL) behaviour focus on the provision of a learner-centred environment. Such systems repeat the training process and place learners alone to experience that process iteratively. According to the relevant literature, external scaffolds are more promising for effective SRL training. In this work,…
