Abstract
Promoting students' self-regulated learning (SRL) is essential but rarely implemented in classrooms. Teachers' professional competencies as self-regulated learners and agents of SRL are crucial for effective implementation and, therefore, should be strengthened. This intervention study examines the impact of a multi-day SRL professional development (PD) program on fifty-four lower secondary teachers' SRL competencies and promotion. The results show mixed effects on their SRL competencies as learners and agents and their promotion, with no significant effect of initial competencies on their development. The study highlights the need for effective PD programs and ongoing support to improve teachers’ SRL practice.
