Enhancing Student Interest and Achievement in Science Through Self-Regulated Learning Strategies

This project aims to develop and assess a set of self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies designed to boost student interest and achievement in science, particularly in high school chemistry. It focuses on the implementation of Confidence Questioning (CQ) and Confidence Weighting (CW) strategies to enhance students' understanding and engagement. By monitoring their own learning and evaluating performance, students can make informed decisions to improve their outcomes. The pilot study is projected to begin in August 2014 and will explore the feasibility of these interventions in real classroom settings.

  1. Development of a Set of Self-Regulated Learning Strategies to Improve Student Interest and Achievement in Science James A. ShymanskyUniversity of Missouri-St. Louis

  2. Nation at Risk (1984) Declining interest Under-representation System focus hasn’t worked The Problem

  3. Monitor one’s learning Evaluate one’s performance Make strategic control decisions SSRL--Focus on the Student

  4. Confidence Questioning (CQ) Confidence Weighting (CW) Complementary SRL Strategies

  5. CQ-CW Overview

  6. Theoretical Basis for CQ/CW Strategies

  7. Question on “big science idea” (NGSS) Ask for show of confidence in answer Record confidence ratings Discuss science idea Repeat cycle after instruction CQ Close-up

  8. Student answers quiz/test question Student rates confidence in answers Quiz/test scored with and without weights Student graded on “higher” score CW Close-up

  9. Sample CW Quiz

  10. Hypothesized CQ and CW Effects

  11. Development, Feasibility, Pilot Study Focus on high school chemistry (Phase 1) Alpha level development (Phase 2) Beta level revision and fine-tuning (Phase 3) Quasi-experimental pilot study Project Plan

  12. Treatments: CQ/CW and control classrooms Outcomes: SRL and science achievement 3-Level HLM (treatment, student demographics, teacher/school) Pilot Study
