WOTW: Self-regulation

The research: Self-regulated learning can be broken into three essential components: cognition - the mental process involved in knowing, understanding, and learning; metacognition - often defined as ‘learning to learn’; and motivation - willingness to engage our metacognitive and cognitive skills.
