Self-Regulated E-Learning Modules for Prenursing Success.

Abstract

To be successful in their courses, nursing students must possess and routinely practice a wide range of self-regulated learning skills. Self-monitoring and regulation of cognition, metacognition, and behaviors influence learning for nursing practice. As reading and studying for comprehension, effective note taking, and taking tests successfully are challenging for many students, faculty at a rural community college created five self-regulated e-learning modules to equip prenursing students with evidence-based techniques to facilitate learning. This article describes the framework of self-regulated learning, the learning modules, student feedback, and implications for nurse educators.
