Guided Collaborative Learning Scenario-based activities address an array of circumstances to which adolescents can relate. Through these collaborative-learning activities, students gain a deeper understanding of self-regulation concepts. Your goal is for students to be able to articulate the components of self-regulation and describe the complexity of the self-regulation process.
Activity 6: Is This Self-Regulation? In groups, have students complete figure 1.4 (page 22) to determine if each scenario is an example of self-regulation and explain why or why not. Refer to the definition from activity 1 (page 16) to guide students’ analysis of the scenarios.
