Self-Regulated Strategy Development

INTRODUCTION

CORE DEFINITION
Self-Regulated Strategy Development, developed by Harris and Graham, is a six-stage model of strategy instruction. The stages are developing background knowledge, discussing the strategy, modelling it, memorising it, supporting its use, and finally independent application. It runs two strands in parallel: explicit instruction in a concrete writing strategy and training in self-monitoring and self-instruction. Because both strands are taught, struggling writers internalise the strategy and can transfer it instead of relying on external prompting.
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
- Use stage sequence: move through the six stages instead of teaching the strategy at once. - Use think-aloud model: demonstrate the writing strategy while narrating each decision aloud. - Use self-monitoring: have students track and instruct their own use of the strategy.
Anchor fast decisions
Strategy instruction is split into six stages that run from background knowledge to independent use, carrying two strands at once. One teaches a concrete writing strategy, the other trains self-monitoring and self-instruction, so struggling writers internalise the method and transfer it rather than waiting for external prompting.
