Self-Regulated Strategy Development (SRSD) and Social Cognitive Model (SCM) interventions

Two types of self-regulatory instruction programs, the Self-Regulated Strategy Development (SRSD) model and the Social Cognitive Model (SCM), were used to address writing difficulties in students with learning disabilities (LD). The SRSD model involves six stages: developing and activating background knowledge, discussing strategy goals and significance, modeling the strategy, memorizing the strategy, collaboratively practicing the strategy, and independently performing the strategy. The SCM model involves four sequential levels: observation, emulation, self-control, and self-regulation. Both programs aim to improve writing skills by teaching cognitive and self-regulatory strategies.
