Barry J. Zimmerman Award for Outstanding Contributions

This annual award is being established to honor mid-career and senior scholars who have made significant contributions to the fields of studying and self-regulated learning research. The focus of the award is to recognize a researcher who has developed a programmatic area of research that has made a strong theoretical, empirical, and applied impact on the field. Zimmerman is among the most prolific and important figures in the fields of studying and self-regulated learning and is an AERA fellow.  He is also one of the founders of the Studying and Self-Regulated Learning SIG.This award is open to any researcher who has actively conducted research in studying and self-regulated learning for a sustained period (i.e., at least seven years) and has produced a strong record of scholarly achievement. Membership in AERA and the SSRL SIG are not criteria for this award, but we do anticipate that many of the nominations will come from the SIG and across AERA. Please see the attachment for additional information, including nomination process. Contact the Chair of this award committee (Linda Bol: [email protected]) with any questions.

The awardees are included in the regular program, and honored at the SIG business meeting.
