Towards Hybrid Human-System Regulation: Understanding Children' SRL Support Needs in Blended Classrooms

Abstract

This paper proposes a new approach to translate learner data into self-regulated learning support. Learning phases in blended classrooms place unique requirements on students' self-regulated learning (SRL). Learning path graphs merge moment-by-moment learning curves and learning phase data to understand student' SRL support needs. Results indicate 4 groups with different SRL support needs. Students in the self-regulated learning group are capable of learning without external regulation. In the teacher regulation group students need initial teacher regulation but rely on SRL thereafter. Students in the system regulation group require teacher and system regulation to learn. Finally, the advanced system support group is in need of support beyond the current level of system regulation. Based on these insights, the application of personalized dashboards and hybrid human-system regulation is further specified.
