Description
Introduction Higher education is facing world-wide a number of major problems. Firstly, universities have to adjust to larger and more heterogeneous populations than in the past. Secondly, in tertiary education in many European countries the output of students completing a degree is largely insufficient. And, last but not least, there is an urgent need for graduates who are prepared for lifelong learning. In response to these challenges we carried out a research project aiming at the design, implementation, and evaluation of a powerful learning environment for fostering learning competence in beginning university students (for more detailed information see Masui 2002; Masui and De Corte 1999; Masui and De Corte 2005). In designing the study we took into account the growing knowledge base about self-regulated learning (see e.g., Boekaerts, Pintrich, and Zeidner 2000).
