ABSTRACT
This chapter primary focuses on one type of event measure called self-regulated learning (SRL) micro-analysis. It then reviews research that explores the predictive validity of microanalytic protocols (in terms of achievement outcomes), when considered as a sole predictor and in conjunction with other SRL measures. Researchers in the domains of human development and counseling have used microanalytic assessment approaches to observe micro-level behaviors exhibited during interpersonal interactions, such as relations among family members, mother-infant attachment, and therapist-client exchanges. Microanalysis has also been used as an approach to assess fine-grained instances of individuals' motivation beliefs and regulatory processes. The chapter further examines whether there is "added value" to using multiple measures when attempting to understand how students engage in regulation and whether SRL processes influence important performance and learning outcomes. The chapter concludes by discussing applications of SRL microanalysis to educational contexts and offer several directions for future research.
