One of the most important goals of education has become to help students acquire self-regulation skills that improve learning. Increasingly, students are presenting at third level without having mastered the skill of self-regulation.

Self-Regulation programmes are usually designed with children and adolescents in mind. Although these programmes can be modified for the third level student, they are not fit for purpose in terms of the language used, strategies taught, examples given, and approach taken.

A key deliverable of this project will be to create a self-regulation framework for higher education students, facilitated by OT in collaboration with students, based on best practice and the evidence base.
