TTwo of Mrs. Torri, Alexandra and Zach are having problems withself-regulation. That is, they have not learned to control their own behavior. While self-regulation is a crucial skill that most students learn early on, some students, including those with learning disabilities or attention deficits, seem to struggle with it. Fortunately, there is a solution: Professor Torri can teach her students self-regulation strategies.
Researchers have demonstrated the effectiveness ofself-regulation strategies. Their findings are summarized in the boxes below.
student benefits
Students learn to work independently and develop flexibility skills.- Students collect assignments, complete expected assignments, review completed work, and move on to the next assignment.
- Students experience success because they stick to challenging problems to find solutions.
Students learn to work independently and develop flexibility skills.(Reid and Lienemann, 2006; Winne, 1997)
Teacher benefits
- Self-regulation strategies reduce disruptive problems in the classroom by encouraging students to take control of their own behavior.
- These strategies give teachers time to work in small groups or individually with students who need additional instruction.
- They also increase teachers' appreciation for students who are able to self-regulate their behavior.

Benefits for students with disabilities
- Students become more active and responsible learners than passive ones.
- They realize the importance of contributing to their learning environment.
- Students regulate their behavior and think of alternative ways to deal with frustrating situations.
- They analyze their behavior, identify problems, determine why certain behaviors occur, predict when problems will occur, and learn how to prevent these occurrences.
Students become more active and responsible learners than passive ones.(Ellis & Friend, 1991; Lovitt, 1973, 1977; Smith & Rivera, 1993)

Transcript: Tom Lovitt, PhD
There were a number of names that people used, such as self-government, self-determination, and self-regulation. Many people have practiced self-control, self-responsibility, self-instruction, self-direction, self-management; There are many of them. I think one thing you have to do is think about why you want to get into self-regulation in the first place. A lot of data shows that it improves student performance. Another reason is that it increases students' self-confidence. Another reason to get involved: it increases the chances of generalization. And I think another reason to join is that it teaches you to practice basic skills. Because when you're working on self-recording and self-control and self-expression and all that stuff, it really ties in with the basic skills. And I think another reason to get involved in regulation is the ability to transition, if done right. Because that goes back to generalization, because if you learn stuff like that about self-monitoring and self-goaling, then probably if they teach you that stuff in third grade, it will probably carry over into middle school and high school and adult life and college. .
There are a variety of specific self-regulation techniques available for teachers to consider when teaching students to control their behavior. The teacher's role is:
- Assist students in the problem solving process.
- Develop self-regulation plans
- Encourage students to implement their plans.
- Work with students to assess the effectiveness of their plans.
Four main types of self-regulation strategies are:
- Self-monitoring (also called self-assessment or self-registration)
- Self-instruction (also called self-talk)
- define goals
- self-reinforcement
All of these self-regulation strategies have been extensively researched and tested in the classroom. They are easy to use and generally very effective. While each strategy is discussed separately in this module, it is important to realize that, in practice, these self-regulation strategies can be combined easily and effectively. You should also be aware that the self-regulation strategies presented in this module can be used as standalone strategies or in conjunction with other approaches.
