PROMPT – Optimizing Self-Regulated Learning Processes With Digital Prompts

The PROMPT project focuses on developing an evidence-based, child-friendly learning planner app that supports school children in self-regulated learning with digital media.

Project Description

Digital learning environments place high demands on learners’ self-regulatory abilities, which children often cannot meet. The PROMPT project aims to research and develop instruments to improve self-regulated learning in digital learning environments for school children. The knowledge generated in the project shall be made widely available so that school children can use it to improve their self-regulated learning and educational technology companies and educational institutions can use it for new products or to improve existing applications. The child-friendly learning planner app 'PROMPT' represents a central aspect of this knowledge transfer. This app shall practically demonstrate scientific findings that are important for an improvement of self-regulated learning with learning apps in school children. Subject to the project, a detailed, multi-step optimization research process will be run on the design of the learning planner app to achieve optimal effectiveness. A prototype of the app is prepared for broad usability and accessibility for companies and educational institutions, and is distributed as an open educational resource. The final version of the app will bei made available for end user and schools in commen app stores. The PROMPT project intends to make a direct contribution to supporting children’s self-regulation abilities in dealing with digital learning environments.

Project Objectives

The key goal of the project is to develop instruments to improve self-regulated learning in digital learning environments for school children. The knowledge gained shall be made widely available so that it can be used directly by school children as well as educational institutions and companies in the education industry. A central aspect of this knowledge transfer is the child-friendly learning planner app 'PROMPT'.
