Educate to Self-Regulate

42. 2025 in Review: Metacognitive Self-Reflection and SRL Insights

Dr Shyam Barr Season 4 Episode 13

In this final episode of Educate to Self-Regulate for the year, and my first solo episode, I’m diving into one of the most important phases of self-regulated learning: Metacognitive self-reflection.

As we wrap up 2025, I’m unpacking:
• Why planning–monitoring–evaluating really matters
• How metacognitive prompts can deepen your own learning
• Practical tools like PMI, SWOT, and Start–Stop–Continue to guide more meaningful reflection
• What this year taught me through the podcast, from AI as a metacognitive partner to Queenwood’s smart study approach, strategy-building in primary classrooms, learning journals, and long-form conversations with researchers
• What’s coming in 2026

I’m also sharing two strategies I’m leaning on as we enter the break:
✔️ Show up to rest the same way you show up to training
✔️ Recalibrating meditation as a non-negotiable part of my routine

Wherever you are, I hope this episode helps you pause, reflect, and set yourself up for a strong 2026.
