The PhD research Eliciting Socially Shared Metacognitive Regulation in Ill-Structured Problems aims to support students collaboratively solve complex ill-structured problems and to promote metacognitive regulation and socially shared metacognitive processes in collaborative learning. Small groups of students are prompted in a real-life design task during a course and a multi-method approach is used to analyse the findings. This research is conducted in both face-to-face and online learning environments and the effect of domain knowledge is investigated by recruiting experts to solve the same task. By researching the effect of supporting tools, such as prompts, on socially shared metacognitive regulation in different settings, conditions, and participants, this project sheds light on efficient learning designs to elicit, develop, and maintain shared regulation skills.
