HOW IS MAPS MODEL OF SELF REGULATION INCLUDED IN OUR CONTRACTING PROCESS
The MAPS model of self-regulation is a simple but powerful way to remember the key ingredients of self-directed learning. The model shows how metacognition, agency, and possible selves all contribute to effective self-regulation in learners.

Self-regulation is a lynchpin of self-directed learning, and the MAPS model shows how metacognition, agency, and possible selves all contribute, This is applied in how our contracts are viewed by both parties.
- Metacognition is the ability to think about your own thinking.
- Agency is the ability to make choices and take action.
- Possible selves are different ways you can see yourself in the future.
Self-regulation is at the heart of self-directed learning, and MAPS helps us remember the key ingredients in the lessons learned in the contracting process.
Self-regulation is at the heart of self-directed learning. It's the lynchpin that helps us remember the key ingredients: meta-cognition, agency, and possible selves.
The acronym MAPS is useful because it reminds us where we should focus our attention when we're working towards obtaining a contract At WWS we imply this model in our contracting process which becomes essential while playing the longest games.
Conclusion:
Our contracting staff at WWS is specifically trained in the MAPS model as we believe it is a great way to think about how self-regulation works in practice. It reminds us that the key ingredients of self-directed learning are the ability to be aware of your own thinking, acts on it, and adjust our goals accordingly.
And while this sounds simple enough, it’s actually quite tricky! The more we understand how our brains work and what makes us unique as individuals (e.g., our personality traits), the better equipped we'll be able to use this model effectively in the lessons learned in our contracting process.
