Making the FLORA algorithm applicable for secondary education. Based on the algorithm, we develop smart technology and teacher instructions in order to stimulate students to use their self-regulation skills.

Key question
How can smart technology chart the self-regulation of students who are in writing education? And how can the teacher support the development of self-regulation skills?
Learning to write well is a challenging process that requires students to constantly delete, edit, and rewrite text. During this process, self-regulation, the monitoring and controlling of one’s own learning, is of great importance to the student. We know that self-regulation doesn’t develop on its own and that teachers experience difficulties in properly supporting self-regulation. This provides room for smart technology to play a role in this by measuring and supporting self-regulation during education.
NOLAI is the national education lab AI for primary, secondary, and special education in the Netherlands, funded by the National Growth Fund. €80 million has been awarded for the period of 2022 to 2032 in order to develop prototypes and gather knowledge about AI in education together with schools, corporations, and scientists over the span of ten years. Each academic year, around ten new projects are launched all across the Netherlands. A project takes three years on average.
