Teachers as learners and agents of self-regulated learning: The importance of different teachers competence aspects for promoting metacognition

This study examines the extent to which teachers' competence aspects as self-regulated learners and agents of self-regulated learning (SRL) explain their self-reported and students' perceived promotion of metacognition. One hundred and eighty-five lower secondary school teachers participated in this study. The results reveal positive direct relationships between teachers' knowledge, self-efficacy, intrinsic in-terest value and the promotion of metacognition. Teachers' own SRL skills and mindsets about SRL were indirectly related to the promotion of metacognition via their self-efficacy and intrinsic interest value. This study provides new evidence of the importance of teachers' dual competence profile for promoting metacognition.(c) 2023 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
