| This study aims to unravel the dynamic nature of the process of self-regulated learning (SRL) of medical specialists as it actually unfolds over time in the authentic clinical environment. To reach the aim, a longitudinal multiple case-study design was used, combining multiple data-collection techniques. Long-term observations offered evidence on overt SRL-strategies. Physicians’ observed behaviors were used as cues for in loco stimulated recall interviews, asking about covert SRL-strategies and their thoughts regarding a situation at hand. Field notes and audiotaped stimulated recall interviews were transcribed verbatim and integrated in a longitudinal database to map SRL as it actually unfolds moment-by-moment. The transcripts were analysed from an inter- and intra-individual perspective using Nvivo 12. The results show a variety of strategies that initiate, advance, and evaluate the process of SRL. Different SRL-strategies not included in contemporary frameworks on SRL are found and classified as a new category which we labelled “learning readiness”. Exemplary for a SRL-strategy in this category is awareness of learning needs. Results show that SRL in the clinical environment is found as an interrelated, dynamic process unfolding in time with feedback loops between different SRL-strategies. Performance is found to play a leading role in driving SRL. This study contributes empirically to the conceptual understanding of SRL in the clinical environment. The use of a situated, longitudinal methodology, which goes beyond the common path of retrospective self-report questionnaires, adds to the disentanglement of the process of SRL as it actually unfolds in the work environment. |
