I was surprised myself, but an article concerning self-regulated learning and technology has been published in RMS Message Vol. 77, issued by Recruit Management Solutions. When I first received the request for an interview, I wondered, “Self-regulated learning in corporate human resource development?” However, after hearing about the purpose of the interview and other details, I decided to accept it.
I provided a brief introduction to the theoretical development of self-regulated learning, focusing primarily on Zimmerman’s social cognitive model. I also discussed points that can and cannot be utilized in corporate training for acquiring skills and knowledge, as well as theoretical perspectives that fit well from the standpoint of career development. If you are interested, please take a look.
The fact that Professor Oshima (Shizuoka University) follows my section also suggests, I believe, that learning sciences are becoming increasingly valued in corporate human resource development. From the perspective of learning environment design, which holds that “human learning is diverse,” corporate human resource development—where such diversity is prominently seen—seemed to fit well as a topic. When you include the aspect of careers, people have various ways of thinking, and they can learn using a variety of learning resources toward achieving those careers.
