CTLE hosted Workshop on Motivating and Supporting Students’ Self-Regulated Learning
教與學優化中心辦工作坊 鼓勵及支援學生自主學習
On 19 March, the Centre for Teaching and Learning Enhancement (CTLE) hosted Dr. Ruthann C. Thomas, a cognitive scientist and educational developer from MIT, who gave a professional development workshop entitled ‘Motivate and Support Students’ Self-Regulated Learning (SRL)’. Nearly 50 UM academic staff joined.
Dr. Thomas emphasized the importance of equipping students with SRL skills — such as planning, monitoring progress and reflecting on outcomes — to foster lifelong learning.
The workshop introduced the three-phase SRL framework (plan-learn-evaluate) and practical strategies for educators. Dr. Thomas engaged participants in case study discussions, prompting colleagues to brainstorm solutions for students struggling with self-regulated learning.
Key strategies included metacognitive examination prompts and reflective ‘exam wrappers’. Participants also reviewed sample SRL activities in small groups and discussed how to adapt them to their disciplines. Dr. Thomas concluded the workshop by encouraging participants to motivate students by creating opportunities for students to experience success, value and ease.
3 月 19 日，教與學優化中心舉辦專業發展工作坊，邀請了來自麻省理工學院的Ruthann C. Thomas 博士以鼓勵及支援學生自主學習 （SRL）為題作演講，吸引近50名澳大教學人員參加。
工作坊上，她強調讓學生掌握 SRL 技能的重要性，例如規劃、監控進度和反思結果，以促進終身學習；她也介紹了 SRL 框架（計劃、學習、評估）和面向老師們的實用策略。
Thomas 博士與同事們互動，研究討論教學案例，促使同事們集思廣益，為學生提供關鍵策略，包括元認知考試提示和反思性試題紙等。同事們還以小組形式，一起回顧了 SRL 教學例子，並討論了如何使其適應他們的學科。Thomas 博士在研討會結束時鼓勵老師們，為學生創造成功、價值和輕鬆的體驗機會，積極激勵他們。
