Summary
This chapter is dissected into distinct and clear learning tasks. These tasks are then examined within the context of a self-regulated learning cycle and points for instruction and assessment are emphasized. The tasks are reassembled into two case studies – one positive and one negative – to demonstrate how the learning tasks can be used by students. Teacher educators may be interested in the first three parts of each chapter, although they could also use the fourth part to inspire action research projects. Educational researchers may be interested in all four bullet points in order to understand the concepts and variables in the research project design.
