For students to be most successful in their education, schools and teachers need to recognise, plan, and teach for the literacy demands inherent in the learning and assessment activities they undertake across the curriculum. McDonald and Thornley present a "scope and sequence" chart of literacy skills central to student achievement ...

A reflection on the journey taken by members of a team of social studies educators to identify the learning and teaching environments that contribute to quality learning in social studies.

This study examined how eight participants in six schools implemented and evaluated Smart Start with PMP, a programme claimed to enhance motor skills and language and to raise students' self-awareness and self-esteem.

Explicit teaching and modelling are found to be vital among the strategies used by the teacher in this study to support her Year 5 and 6 students in developing self-regulating writing behaviours.

What is self regulated learning (SRL)? Where did the idea come from? How do I know it when I see it? What does in mean for my teaching, Do I really have to think about it?

Being aware of validity and how it can be threatened can help teachers make decisions about what assessments are worth making and what they can be used for.

This small study provides some evidence that even at a young age, students are able to begin developing self-regulation skills in the context of science investigations.

The second of three articles on research as a student learning activity.  Rosemary Hipkins explores the idea of "information literacy" and argues that different school subjects provide differences of context that students need to experience and learn to critique.

This article was incorporated into the NZCER Press book Learning to ...

Keeping a journal in the mathematics classroom has clear benefits.  In this study a group of students kept journals on their mathematics lessons and were found to become more regular and deeper metacognitive thinkers.  Strong links between journals and self-regulation are made in the research literature.

This exploratory study of self-regulated learning for mathematics education looked at how to encourage self-regulating behaviour using reflective journalling and models to represent problem situations.
