Allyson Hadwin

• Promoting and researching adaptive self-regulation

• Prompting and researching collaborative learning

• Aspects of self-regulation including: metacognition, cognitive strategies, motivation & procrastination, and emotion regulation

• Designing classroom tasks, environments and technologies for enhancing learning, motivation and self-regulated learning

• Learning to succeed in the face of learning, motivational and emotional challenges

• Student engagement, retention, and transitions 

Dr. Hadwin collaborates with a dynamic team of graduate student researchers and international co-investigators. They examine learning tools, instruction, contexts and technologies that support learners to succeed and adapt in the face of new challenges when they work alone or on teams. Their research takes place in elementary, secondary, and post-secondary classroom contexts rather than research labs. They explore a range of psychological constructs (e.g., cognition, learning strategies, learning goals, motivation, emotion, and transfer) from an applied self-regulated learning perspective. They continually develop and examine the effectiveness of technologies to support learning and collaboration across the lifespan.

Dr. Hadwin frequently employs graduate students she supervises in paid research assistantships. Her graduate students have been consistently awarded national fellowships and scholarships.

Current research projects include: "Promoting adaptive regulation-Innovative technologies (PAR-IT)"($349,330) (PI); "Univenture: A Partnership to Address Heavy Drinking and Other Substance Misuse on Canadian University Campuses" ($2,500,000) (CO-PI); "Advancing educational theory, assessment, and practice in higher education collaborative regulatory training" ($188,590) (CO-PI)
