Welcome to SRL in MOOC!
We begin with a short module to prepare you for our course. For some of you, self-regulated learning (SRL) isn't a new concept. Some of you may be taking this course to enhance SRL in your own MOOC's. An important aspect of SRL is learners must be self-aware and taught to understand their learning process. We discuss learning styles for understanding yourself as a learner and relating your learning style to thinking and learning flexibly.
We then complete a growth mindset survey for an understanding of course expectations when it comes to thinking flexibly, and for your self-awareness as a learner. Studies have shown that individuals with a growth mindset have a greater awareness of errors, and this is significant because having a mindset of positivity and growth will encourage you to go back and correct errors or misconceptions. (Boaler 2016)
What are you expected to do?
Using the Module I Worksheet you will recall the type of learner you are and relate your type of learning to think flexibly. Then you will share your thoughts and comments in our class discussion.
After that, you will participate in a course survey, "What kind of mindset do you have?" to verify if your mindset is growth or fixed. You will end the Module by formulating your own personal goals for this course. You may record this in your course journal. (optional)
