How medical students co-regulate their learning in clinical clerkships: a social network study.

Background: Self-regulated learning is a key competence to engage in lifelong learning. Research increasingly acknowledges that medical students in clerkships need others to regulate their learning. The concept of "co-regulated learning" captures this act of regulating one's learning by interacting with others.

Putting self-regulated learning in context: Integrating self-, co-, and socially shared regulation of learning.

Processes involved in the regulation of learning have been researched for decades, because of its impact on academic and workplace performance. In fact, self-regulated learning is the focus of countless studies in health professions education and higher education in general. While we will always need competent individuals who are able to regulate their own learning, developments in healthcare require a shift from a focus on the individual to the collective: collaboration within and between healthcare teams is at the heart of high-quality patient care.

Relationships between medical students' co-regulatory network characteristics and self-regulated learning: a social network study.

Introduction: Recent conceptualizations of self-regulated learning acknowledge the importance of co-regulation, i.e., students' interactions with others in their networks to support self-regulation.

How to conceptualise self-regulated learning: Implications for measurement.

When is self‐regulated learning not entirely self‐regulated? The authors argue SRL is socially embedded and we need better measurement of its reciprocal relationship with co‐regulated learning.

Beyond the self: The role of co-regulation in medical students' self-regulated learning.

Context: Medical students are expected to self-regulate their learning within complex and unpredictable clinical learning environments. Research increasingly focuses on the effects of social interactions on the development of self-regulation in workplace settings, a notion embodied within the concept of co-regulated learning (CRL). Creating workplace learning environments that effectively foster lifelong self-regulated learning (SRL) requires a deeper understanding of the relationship between CRL and SRL.
