In order to be successful in problemor project-based learning (PBL), students must take responsibility for the learning process by setting goals, monitoring, reflecting, and sustaining their motivation from the beginning of the project until the end. However, for many students, these processes do not occur naturally or easily. Therefore, the learning environment and teaching practices in PBL must be designed with intention to support students’ self-regulated learning (SRL). This paper describes specific learning environment features and teaching practices that have been shown to foster student responsibility for learning in each phase of PBL, with the purpose of providing educators with guidance for developing SRL in PBL, and ultimately, student motivation and ability to learn. To accomplish this, a theoretical model of the relationship between PBL and SRL is presented, along with research-driven guidelines on how to promote student responsibility for learning in PBL.

- The reflective diary as a method for the formative assessment of self-regulated learning (2018, unknown): “This means that for students to become self-regulated learners, they need to develop suitable cognitive, metacognitive, motivational, and social strategies that help them to actively construct goals, problem solutions, and meaning (English and Kitsantas 2013; Fabriz et al. 2014; Zimmerman 2013).”
- Problem-Based Learning in K–8 Mathematics and Science Education: A Literature Review (2017, unknown): “As English and Kitsantas (2013) found project-based learning and problem-based learning to closely resemble each other, we included both “problem-based” and “projectbased” learning articles in our literature review.”
