Six eminent educational psychologists raised significant issues about
my hypotheses concerning inherent details in self-regulated learning (
SRL). In this rejoinder, I address seven broad questions: Is social in
teraction intrinsic to SRL? Do novices self-regulate learning? What is
effort's role in SRL? What roles do goals play in SRL? How does SRL d
evelop? What role does affect have in SRL? What can be done with model
s and principles? My answers to these questions are partial and provis
ional, pending further empirical studies, but they align with my initi
al theses that SRL (a) is inherent in learning, (b) is more alike than
different from cognition in general, and (c) need not involve deliber
ation once procedural knowledge that comprises self-regulation has bec
ome thoroughly automated.
