Zimmerman's Model of Self-Regulated Learning

Zimmerman's Model of Self-Regulated Learning describes how learners actively manage their own learning process. It involves three key phases: **Forethought**, where learners set goals and plan strategies; **Performance**, where they implement those strategies and monitor their progress; and **Self-reflection**, where they assess their performance, reflect on what worked or didn’t, and make adjustments for future learning. This cyclical process helps individuals become more effective, autonomous learners by fostering motivation, strategic thinking, and self-awareness throughout their educational journey.
