Abstract:

In this article we describe how students like Dionne can be encouraged to use self-regulation processes that they develop in the arts to help them in academic areas. First, we discuss how an instructional setting in the performing arts promotes self-regulation among students. We then describe how classroom teachers can transfer instructional strategies used in the performing arts to foster self-regulation in academic settings. The process can help teachers become aware of students' strengths and learning strategies. It may also help them transform their classrooms into exciting laboratories where students began to direct their own learning. (p. 32-33)
