VISTA SRL — Vision of Students and Teachers for Adaptive Self-Regulated Learning

Self-regulated learning (SRL) — students' capacity to plan, monitor, and adjust their own learning — is a key predictor of academic success, especially in science, yet teachers rarely promote it explicitly in the classroom. Whether they do so effectively depends on their professional vision (PV): the ability to notice, interpret, and reason about the classroom moments that matter for student learning, and to adapt their teaching accordingly. This project builds on that notion of teacher noticing and adds a novel, parallel concept — students' vision (SV), students' own capacity to notice, describe, and reflect on their teachers' SRL instruction. Bringing these two perspectives together, the project asks how teachers' and students' shared noticing and reflection can strengthen adaptive SRL teaching in science classrooms and, in turn, students' SRL skills and science achievement.
