Settings, Exchanges, and Events: the SEE Framework of Self‐regulated Learning Supportive Practices

There are many practices that educators can use to develop self-regulated learning (SRL); however, an organizational framework for cataloging SRL supportive practices that also identifies empirical support for those practices is lacking. The purpose of this manuscript is to provide such guidance by developing the settings, exchanges, and events (SEE) framework, and guide its use. Literature review and expert feedback led us to identify three categories of SRL supportive practices including (a) creating a learning setting that is conducive to SRL, (b) fostering adaptive learning exchanges between educators and learners that foster SRL, and (c) creating events that provide opportunities to utilize SRL skills. The SEE framework is beneficial to educators because it organizes SRL supportive practices and can facilitate professional development trainings. The SEE framework can also support educational researchers interested in embedding SRL within classrooms. Specifically, the SEE framework provides an initial structure of practices that can initiate discussions among researchers and be tested and elaborated upon. Moreover, the SEE framework can assist researchers in the development of tools to support classroom observation and consultation.
