Dr. Pamela Murphy and Dr. Maria DiBenedetto, Editors
Dear Colleagues:
engage in the business of the SIG and enjoy a
presentation by Dr. Allyson Hadwin of the
University of Victoria. We hope to see you all
there!
Thanks to Pamela Murphy and Maria
DiBenedetto, we have an informative issue of
the SSRL SIG newsletter to share with you,
just in time to assist in planning your schedule
for the annual AERA conference.
Our
program chairs, Timothy Cleary and Srilata
Bhattacharyya, have put together another
excellent program, complete with paper
sessions, symposia, posters, roundtables, and a
business meeting. Of special note are two
tributes to Dr. Barry Zimmerman, a man to
whom we all owe a debt of gratitude. Please
join our distinguished panel of national and
international scholars to celebrate Dr.
Zimmerman’s many contributions to our field
during a symposium on Sunday morning, and
attend our business meeting that same
evening, where Dr. Linda Bol will discuss Dr.
Zimmerman’s role in the creation of our SIG.
Our business meeting will also be a time to
Best regards,

We are pleased to announce the recipient of
the 2011 Graduate Student Research Award,
Matthew L. Bernacki. Dr. Bernacki obtained his
Ph.D. from Temple University and is currently
affiliated with the Pittsburgh Science of
Learning Center, Metacognition and Motivation
Thrust, and Temple University Department of
Educational Psychology. His paper is entitled
“The Effect of Self-regulated Learning and Prior
Knowledge on Knowledge Construction in
Computer Based Learning Environments.” The
$250 award will be presented at the SIG
Business Meeting.
Each year, the SSRL SIG presents up to five
awards of $250 to graduate students who are
first authors of papers accepted for presentation
at the annual AERA meeting. The awardees are
included in the regular program, and honored at
the SIG business meeting.
Complete papers can be between 15-20
pages, double-spaced. Research proposals,
research in progress, and entire dissertations will
not be reviewed. Manuscripts longer than 20
pages (excluding tables and references) cannot
be reviewed. Each applicant should submit a
cover letter including his or her name, address,
email address, and phone number. The
application process is as follows:
1. As with all proposals, graduate students’
proposals should be sent to the SSRL SIG
using the AERA Online Proposal
Submission System at http://www.aera.net/
by July 15, 2011.
2. Within five days of being notified by our
SIG that a proposal has been accepted for
presentation in our program, a student
interested in applying for an award must
send an e-mail to the chair of the Graduate
Student Research Award Committee,
indicating that she or he would like to be
considered for the award.
3. By February 15, 2012, graduate students
must send their complete paper and cover
letter to the chair of the GSRAC, with a
copy to the SSRL SIG Chair, Dr. Hefer
Bembenutty ([email protected]).
4. The complete papers will be evaluated by
the Graduate Student Research Award
Committee.
5. Applicants will be notified of the status of
the application by March 25, 2012.
Two of our members, Tony Artino and Tim
Cleary, along with other collaborators, have
been awarded a $55,000 grant by the U.S. Air
Force Medical Research Program. The project is
entitled “Developing and Testing a Selfregulated Learning Assessment Methodology for
Medical Education.” In describing the project,
Artino said, “By instituting a SRL microanalytic
assessment protocol in medical education, we’re
hoping to identify important quantitative and
qualitative differences in key self-regulatory
processes among high- and low-performing
medical students engaged in a diagnostic
reasoning task. We hypothesize that high-
performing students will display strategy or
technique-oriented regulatory processes and
more adaptive motivational beliefs and
emotions, whereas low-performing students will
exhibit non-strategic forms of regulatory thought
and less adaptive beliefs and emotions.”
This spring, The International Journal of
Educational and Psychological Assessment
published a special edition (Vol. 7, No. 1)
dedicated to the assessment of self-regulated
learning guest edited by Maria K. DiBenedetto.
There were five articles dedicated to measuring
6
self-regulated learning. The first article, by
Ramdass and Zimmerman, examined middle
school mathematics students’ ability to respond
to an intervention through modeling and social
feedback. The second article, by White, involved
creating scales to assess urban college students
who are pursuing teacher certification on the
self-regulatory process of help-seeking. Dugan
and Andrade’s article explored the nature of
academic self-regulation; they developed a new
assessment tool for which they established
evidence of construct validity. The fourth article
by, King and Du, examined the reliability and
construct validity of the Chinese translation of
the Academic Delay of Gratification Scale
previously constructed by Bembenutty and
Karabenick. Lastly, the article by DiBenedetto
and Bembenutty examined academic selfregulation of students enrolled in graduate
business education pursuing the MBA. The
papers in this special edition represent new
approaches or mechanisms for assessing
constructs within the self-regulation paradigm
and range from middle school students to
graduate students in a professional degree
program.
