The relationship between self-regulated learning (SRL) and CORI has been introduced by Wigfield, one of the developers of CORI, as an example in his books about SRL. However, it was not made clear in detail how he had specified the instructions for SRL in CORI. Clarifying this relationship is highly suggestive in practicing the instructions of SRL in Japan.
Thus, the purpose of this study is to clarify how Wigfield’s SRL theory is specifically incorporated into CORI. First, we specify the theory of SRL by Wigfield. Second, as clarifying the theoretical features and the teaching materials of CORI, we find commonalities in CORI and SRL.
As a result, the following has been made clear as the features of Wigfield’s instructions of SRL. The three steps of SRL has been fit together with both inquiry science activities and reading strategy instruction. These two processes were embedded in the process of CORI. In other words, within the framework of instruction for building the general knowledge about the ecosystem, the lesson was planned in order to cultivate readers who can try to obtain that knowledge using the strategies of reading and interaction with others.
