Through its research-to-practice focus, this book honors the professional
contributions of Professor Barry J. Zimmerman as illustrated by the recent selfregulation
applications of a highly respected group of national and international
scholars. This book will serve as a valuable resource for those interested in
empowering and enabling learners to successfully manage and self-direct their
lives, education, and careers. In particular, K-12 educators, college instructors,
coaches, musicians, health care providers, and researchers will gain invaluable
insight into the nature of self-regulation as well as how they can readily apply self-regulation principles into their
teaching, instruction, or mentoring. Emergent trends in education and psychology circles, such as linking self-regulated
learning assessment and interventions as well as the use of technology to enhance student learning and
self-regulation, are additional themes addressed in the book. The kaleidoscope of self-regulation issues
addressed in this book along with the wide range of promising intervention applications should also prove to be
particularly appealing to graduate students as they pursue their future research activities and seek to optimize
their individual growth and development.
