Assessing self-regulation, a new topic in learning analytics: Process of information objectification

Abstract

This chapter concerns the theoretical viewpoint regarding the metacognitive process of academic knowledge object-building. An ontological perspective of the study of academic learning will be presented. First, considerations concerning the academic learning process will be stated to establish the main assertions regarding what has been found to be important in academic self-regulated learning. An example of learning math will then be analyzed to illustrate the passage from subjective knowing to objectivization.
