Abstract

We examined if highly intelligent and high-achieving students benefit from training in self-regulated learning conducted in regular classrooms as much as their peers of average intelligence and with average scholastic achievement. Fourth-graders participating in a training program of self-regulated learning (SRL, n = 123) were compared with fourth-graders receiving regular classroom instruction (REG, n = 199) in a pretest, posttest, follow-up design. Students in the SRL group practiced self-regulated learning while working on identifying main ideas in expository texts. The training was effective for highly intelligent and high-achieving students as well as for their peers of average intelligence and with average scholastic achievement. Highly intelligent students benefited in their preference for self-regulated learning only in the long run; for high achievers, we found immediate and long-term effects. Both highly intelligent students and high achievers identified more main ideas correctly in the course of the training. We recommend this program for use by classroom teachers in heterogeneous classrooms. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
