Self-Regulated Learning

Explores how self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies, combined with video-based and digital game-based learning, can improve online learning outcomes for construction professionals. By integrating learning analytics and neurophysiological data (EEG), the project aims to design an adaptive model that enhances engagement, learning efficiency, and skill retention.

This study is funded by SkillsFuture Singapore under Workforce Development Applied Research Fund (WDARF) Grant [GA23-02].  The contributions of all participants and organisations who helped with this study are greatly appreciated.

Our learning outcomes

Identify common design risks that can affect the safety and health of construction and maintenance workers

Evaluate design risk based on severity, likelihood, risk priority number (RPN)

Apply industry standards, guidelines, and norms when mitigating design risks

Our approach

Key highlights of this SRL project

Focus on adult learners

Tailored to the unique needs of construction professionals upskilling in a digital learning environment

Evidence-based approach

Combines literature review, pilot studies, and experimental data to develop a robust SRL model

Multi-modal integration

Uses neurophysiological signals, eye-tracking technologies and facial visual cues to better understand cognitive load during learning activities

Experiment setup

Designing for Construction Safety Course

  • Learners either go through 40-mins of video- or game-based learning
  • The content is the same for both mediums
  • Created learning environment to support SRL
