To address the first two components of self-regulation—self-monitoring and goal-setting—in my struggle with a math concept, I would take the following steps:
1. **Self-Monitoring**: I would keep track of my understanding of the concept by regularly assessing my progress. This might involve practicing problems related to the concept and noting which types I find challenging. I could use a journal or a digital tool to record my thoughts, mistakes, and any patterns in what I struggle with, allowing me to see my improvement over time.
2. **Goal-Setting**: I would set specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals for my learning. For example, I might aim to master a specific type of problem related to the concept by the end of the week, dedicating a set amount of time each day to practice and review. This helps create a clear roadmap and motivates me to stay focused on my learning objectives.
