Publisher Summary

This chapter describes the role of cognitive and motivational factors and the development of academic self-regulation. The development of the capability to self-regulate cognition, motivation, affect, and behavior is an important developmental task. This chapter focuses on self-regulated learning that takes place in classroom settings. This chapter focuses on the development of self-regulatory capabilities in school-age children. This chapter also discusses some of the personal cognitive characteristics and motivational characteristics that might facilitate or impede the development of self-regulation. This chapter addresses the developmental questions at two levels. First, there is the traditional age-graded maturational developmental perspective. The second perspective reflects an expertise or task-domain-specific approach that describes the purpose of self-regulation expertise that might evolve over the course of different phases of doing a task or activity. This chapter concludes by discussing the implications of a strength model of self-regulation that can play an important role in the waxing and waning of self-regulation activities as one engages in a task over time.
