A Staff Development Seminar on “Self-Regulated Learning” was conducted by Professor CHIU Chi Shing, Ms. Jannie TSANG, and Ms. LEUNG Kit Yan of Centre for Excellence in Learning and Teaching (CELT) for more than sixty teachers of Our Lady of China Catholic Primary School on 2 October 2018. Professor Chiu introduced the three orientations of self-regulated learning and highlighted the significance of selecting and/or integrating the various orientations according to the learning needs of the students and the school context. Case studies of the four core subjects (Chinese Language, English Language, Mathematics, and General Studies) were discussed, illustrating how the different orientations of self-regulated learning could be implemented in classroom teaching. The teacher participants found that the theory-input and the authentic examples discussed had inspired them on how to develop their school-based self-regulated learning approach, one of the school major concerns, in the coming academic year.
