Özet:

Self-regulation skills are extremely important in online learning environments where learners have more control, independence and responsibility than face-to-face learning environments. Research has shown that online learners fail as they have problems in regulating their own learning processes. However, it is possible to have learners acquire self-regulation skills through making use of various strategies and tools by the instructors as it is a skill that can be learned. Some research has shown that online instructors are unaware of the potential of enhancing learners’ self-regulated learning skills by using learning technologies that offer the opportunity to use specific strategies and tools. In this study, strategies and tools that enhance learners’ self-regulated learning skills are discussed in the context of social cognitive self-regulated learning theories as well as how these strategies and tools can be used by the instructional designers and instructors, which will provide learners to regulate their learning processes in online learning environments. In Turkey, the number of online programs and courses have been increasing in recent years. This study is intended to guide instructional designers and instructors in online learning in Turkey regarding the use of strategies and tools that enhance learners’ self-regulated learning skills
