Educational psychology offers a comprehensive understanding of how learners organize, monitor, and modify their thinking and strategies to accomplish goals by concentrating on one area of the learning sciences—the development of self-regulated learning (SRL). Experimental and longitudinal studies provide evidence for SRL, demonstrating that students who define objectives, choose tactics, track their progress, evaluate results, and modify their methods typically perform better, particularly in difficult subjects.This include:

• Metacognition Awareness and control of ones own thinking process.
• Situational and resource modeling: context feedback and available scaffolds shapes how learners regulate with social support strengthening SRL.

These include clear goal framing, instruction that reduces cognitive load by building prerequisite knowledge, opportunities for intentional practice with spaced retrieval, prompts or tools that support students' metacognitive planning and self-monitoring, and timely and informative feedback. When taken as a whole, these insights help teachers design learning environments that develop self-reliant, resilient, and flexible students who can use methods outside of the classroom.
