Clearly, the need for self-regulation in higher education is crucial, This volume describes the theories, tools, and techniques that can be used to assist in the promotion of self-regulation in students including areas such as goal orientations, self-efficacy beliefs, social comparisons, self-monitoring, and self-evaluation.Edited by Héfer Bembenutty, assistant professor of educational psychology at Queens College of the City University of New York, this is the 126th volume of the Jossey-Bass quarterly report series "New Directions for Teaching and Learning," which offers a comprehensive range of ideas and techniques for improving college teaching based on the experience of seasoned instructors and the latest findings of educational and psychological researchers.
