Promoting Academic And Nonacademic Behaviors In Students With Ebd Using The Self-Determined Learning Model Of Instruction: A Mathematics Example

Teaching self-determination to students with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) may empower them to become self-regulated problem solvers. This article, using the Self-Determined Learning Model of Instruction (SDLMI), outlines a framework for teachers to facilitate mathematics instruction and goal attainment relative to in-school and postschool outcomes. The SDLMI's three phases enable teachers to promote self-directed learning in their students with EBD. These increased opportunities of self-regulated learning can improve students' in-school and postschool success.
