WELCOME FROM THE SIG CHAIRS

 It is a pleasure to welcome you to the official World Wide Web Pages of the Self-Regulation in Studying and Learning Special Interest Group (SIG) of the American Educational Research Association. This SIG is dedicated to promoting the development of theory and research in academic studying and self-regulated learning throughout the life span. It brings together both researchers and practitioners to share knowledge and expertise in the areas of motivation, metacognition, text processing, note taking, review, learning strategies, test taking, and writing.

 The SIG is a great opportunity for Masters and Doctoral students who are interested in studying and self-regulated learning research. Student affiliates are especially encouraged to become proactive participants of the SIG. If any of you are interested in joining this SIG and would like further information, please contact the SIG Co-chairs.

EDITOR’S MESSAGE

Patricia A. Haught and Anne H. Nardi (West Virginia University), Newsletter Editors

With the assistance of Fred Bail, who is in charge of the SIG website, we will post this version of the SIG newsletter online. This is being done to save time and reduce traditional delivery costs. Some time has lapsed since a newsletter was prepared. We welcome feedback and suggestions for ways to improve the newsletter to make it interesting and informative to our membership. We look forward to seeing everyone in New Orleans in early April. The program chairs have put together an excellent program that reflects the diversity of interests among our members. We encourage everyone to support the SIG-sponsored sessions that are described below.
