SUMMARY:Research Seminar in Economics: Daniel Schunk (Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz)
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Teaching Self-Regulation\n\nSpeaker: Daniel Schunk (Jo
 hannes Gutenberg University Mainz)\n\nTime & venue: Fridays, 10:00 - 12:00
  (starting on 27.10.2023); see schedule for seminar venues \n\nDescrip
 tion: The Research Seminar in Economics offers a platform for invited spea
 kers to present their current research, thereby promoting the exchange bet
 ween speakers and faculty members. It covers empirical as well as theoreti
 cal contributions across all fields of economics.\n\nMore information can 
 be found on the seminar's website.\n\nAbstract: Children’s self-regula
 tion abilities are key predictors of educational success and other life ou
 tcomes such as income and health. However, self-regulation is not a school
  subject, and knowledge about how to generate lasting improvements in self
 -regulation and academic achievements with easily scalable, low-cost inter
 ventions is still limited. Here, we report the results of a randomized con
 trolled field study which integrates a short self-regulation teaching unit
  based on the concept of mental contrasting with implementation intentions
  into the school curriculum of first graders. We demonstrate that the trea
 tment increases children’s skills in terms of impulse control and self-r
 egulation while also generating lasting improvements in academic skills li
 ke reading and monitoring careless mistakes. Moreover, it has a substantia
 l effect on children’s long-term school career by increasing the likelih
 ood of enrolling in an advanced secondary school track three years later. 
 Thus, self-regulation teaching can be integrated into the regular school c
 urriculum at low cost, is easily scalable and can substantially improve im
 portant abilities and children’s educational career path.
