The Motivational Dimensions of Self-Regulated Learning

  Abstract Self-regulation is critical for learning. It is often conceptualized as a cyclical process where the learner sets goals, monitors progress and then evaluates performance as a means to inform future learning efforts. Important, but less understood, is how motivational dimensions related to the learner influence the self-regulation process.

According to renowned psychologist Dr. John Gottman of the Gottman Institute in Seattle, WA, “Stonewalling occurs when the listener retreats from the conversation, shutting down from the speaker because they are feeling overwhelmed.” Imagine this scenario – your partner completely disregards you when you want to discuss a particular issue, whatever that may be, and instead turns away from you. How would that feel? Instead of addressing the problematic issues at hand, your partner is now walking away from the situation altogether. Of course, this is enough to cause you to feel ignored and disregarded. Stonewalling is one of the few marriage destroyers if kept up. The others being contempt, criticism, and defensiveness; which Gottman termed “The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse”. To view more... Psychology To know more about...
