Incorporating SRL techniques into educational technologies and establishing empirical evidence of their effectiveness are ongoing processes, demanding further research.
“However, incorporating SRL techniques into educational technologies and establishing empirical evidence of their effectiveness are ongoing processes, demanding further research to identify best practices and gather robust evidence on their impact on student learning outcomes (Broadbent & Poon, 2015).”
From Impact of AI assistance on student agency (2024) · cites this paper as Broadbent & Poon, 2015
Most SRL research has focused on the face-to-face context, and evidence suggests that these impacts might be decreased online.
“Furthermore, most SRL research has focused on the face-to-face context, and evidence suggests that these impacts might be decreased online, but without more rigorous study and documentation of varied pedagogical contexts, like modality, it is impossible to make this distinction (Broadbent & Poon, 2015).”
From The Potential of Exam Wrappers in Higher Education Assessment Practice: Fostering Self-Efficacy Through Guided Self-Reflection (2025) · cites this paper as Broadbent & Poon, 2015
There is a positive correlation between self-assessment, self-regulated learning (SRL), and self-efficacy strategies.
“e findings of these studies clearly showed that there is a positive correlation between self-assessment, self-regulated learning (SRL), and self-efficacy strategies.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
