Culturally effective teaching for the development of students’ self-regulation: What does the evidence tell us?
How does culture influence the type of teaching that promotes child and adolescent development? Until now, it has been assumed that the same teaching strategies have similar effects on child and adolescent development globally. However, new research shows that they can, in fact, have different, even opposing, effects on learning and skill development across countries. This is also the case for the development of students’ self-regulation, one of the main individual skills found to improve learning and educational achievement. In this presentation, Pablo Torres introduces current research on culturally effective teaching (and parenting) can promote students’ self-regulation in different cultures in childhood and adolescence.
