Abstract
Self-regulated learning should be an educational objective for handicapped children and unsuccessful students. Self-regulated learning combines cognitive skill and motivational will so that students can select challenging tasks, apply effective learning strategies, and measure their success against personal standards. Self-regulated learning builds confidence in children and enables them to acquire effective problem-solving skills that extend beyond the classroom. A variety of classroom programs that enhance children's learning strategies, metacognition, and motivation, are described to show how instruction can foster self-regulated learning.Keywords
