Research School Network: Metacognition and Self-regulation Booklets – Writing A series designed in collaboration with the University of Lincoln

This is the first in the series of 5 booklets that will look at how the seven-step model from the metacognition and self-regulation guidance report is used as a ​‘scaffolding framework, that deliberately shifts the responsibility from the teacher to the pupil’ to model independence for students.

This booklet looks at:

• The definition of metacognition and self-regulation.
• What the research says about metacognition in writing.
• How students might develop metacognition and self-regulation in their learning.
• What effective instruction looks like in the classroom.
• Misconceptions about metacognition.
• What kind of teacher development supports SRSD.
• Video exemplification about the stages of writing and evidence.
