“Because I'm Bad at the Game!” A Microanalytic Study of Self Regulated Learning in League of Legends

Self-regulated learning (SRL) is a form of learning guided by the student's own meta-cognition, motivation, and strategic action, often in the absence of an educator. The use of SRL processes and skills has been demonstrated across numerous academic and non-academic contexts including athletics...

In this work, we aim to take a first step in the study of SRL in esports by replicating Kitsantas and Zimmerman's (2002) volleyball study in the context of League of Legends. We compared the self-regulatory processes of expert, non-expert, and novice League of Legends players, and found that there were significant differences for processes in the forethought phase. We discuss three implications of these findings: what they mean for the development of future computational tools for esports players, implications that esports may be able to teach SRL skills that transfer to academics, and what educational technology can learn from esports to create more effective tools.Erica KleinmanChristian GayleMagy Seif El-NasrFrontiers Media S.A.articleself-regulated learningonline learningtechnology enhanced learninggamified learningesportsesports in educationPsychologyBF1-990ENFrontiers in Psychology, Vol 12 (2021)
