A FRAMEWORK OF SELF-REGULATED LEARNING AND COMPUTATIONAL THINKING APPROACH IN ENGLISH WRITING : METHODOLOGIES AND TEACHING APPROACHES

The goal of education is to help students develop the skills that are essential for life-long learning and personal growth. This study propose a framework for English writing instruction that integrates self-regulated learning and computational thinking, targeting the development of essential 21st-century skills of higher-order thinking skills. By leveraging innovative instructional practices, educators can guide students through a structured framework that fosters cognitive and metacognitive development. Central to the framework is the concept of self-regulated learning, wherein students are empowered to set goals, monitor progress, and reflect on their learning journey. By incorporating self-regulated learning strategies into English writing instruction, students not only refine their writing abilities but also acquire essential skills for effective learning and adaptation in diverse contexts. Complementing self-regulated learning is the integration of computational thinking principles, encouraging students to approach writing tasks analytically and systematically. Computational thinking principles, such as decomposition, abstraction, algorithm, evaluation, and generalization, students learn to break down complex writing problems into manageable components, facilitating creative and structured solutions. This integrated approach not only enhances students' writing proficiency but also cultivates lifelong learning habits and personal growth. Through the synergy of self-regulated learning and computational thinking within the English writing context, educators can nurture students' cognitive and metacognitive skills, preparing them to thrive in diverse academic and professional settings.
