| Abstract: | The purpose of the present study was to examine the effectiveness of an ongoing Learning and Teaching Students how to Learn (L&ThL) intervention with 63 full-time college students serving as tutors. The goal was to help tutors develop self-regulated learning (SRL) skills as learners and then transition them into teaching these skills to elementary and middle school students through virtual tutoring, with a focus on improving learning in mathematics and literacy. After participating in the L&ThL intervention for the academic year, tutor survey responses indicated increased familiarity with SRL, ability to incorporate self-regulated strategies into lesson plans, and greater efficacy in implementing these strategies. Tutors' commitment to teaching also increased significantly following the intervention. Educational implications for tutor training and mentoring are discussed. |
