Socio-educational self-regulation from sustainability: a documentary analysis

Abstract

This article is the product of research based on the CIFE (2016) methodology for documentary records to know the state of the art of studies on learning self-regulation in children and identify possible links between this, the socio-educational approach and sustainable development. Scientific articles published in the last three years in Latin America and the world were consulted in databases. The concept of self-regulation is similar to others such as: self-study, self-learning, self-improvement, co-regulation, metacognition and executive functions; it has been associated to variables such as academic performance, motivation, physical activity, learning styles, teaching practices, neurodidactics, among others. A definition is proposed for sustainable socio-educational self-regulation as a result of the research.
