Paradigmatic Dimensions of Instrumentation and Analytic Methods in Research on Self-Regulated Learning

摘要

Studies described in this special issue take bold steps in using diverse instrumentation to gather multidimensional data about self-regulated learning, and apply novel analytic methods to examine those data. I explore these advances from a perspective that foregrounds the role of a paradigm – coherent theoretical propositions and methodological properties – that underlie and contextualize the research. Several suggestions are offered for consideration about interpreting findings and designing future research.
