A self-regulated learning tutor to adaptively scaffold the personalized learning: A study on learning outcome for grade 8 Mathematics

Personalized learning aims to offer students the adaptive learning supports according to individual learning capabilities. However, most students may be difficult to efficiently self-regulate their learning behavior to conduct the active learning processes due to the insufficient Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) abilities. Therefore, this study adopts the SRL learning strategies to design and develop a SRL-Tutor system to support the requirements of the personalized learning. It tries to provide students with the adaptively scaffolding processes to assist them in efficiently learning subject´s knowledge and SRL skills, e.g., adaptive prompt and assessment, and personalized learning guidance based on the diagnostic report. Through one-semester experiment in Grade 8 Mathematics subject, its results show that SRL-Tutor is indeed able to efficiently enhance the students´ learning outcome.
