Zimmerman's Self-Regulated Learning Cycle¶
Run the Zimmerman SRL Cycle Fullscreen
About This MicroSim¶
An interactive circular diagram showing Zimmerman's three-phase self-regulated learning cycle: Forethought (planning and goal-setting), Performance (executing and monitoring), and Self-Reflection (evaluating and adapting). Each phase is color-coded and connected by curved arrows showing the clockwise flow.
Explore Mode: Hover over any phase to see its definition, three classic sub-processes, and a sample metacognitive prompt learners can use at that phase.
Quiz Mode: A description of a learner's behavior appears at the top. Click the SRL phase the behavior illustrates. Correct answers are confirmed with an explanation of the sub-process at play.
Learning Objective (Bloom level: Analyze): Given a description of a learner's behavior, identify which SRL phase it illustrates and name the sub-process at play.
