Relationships between medical students ’ co-regulatory network characteristics and self-regulated learning: a social network study

Findings imply that supporting development of strong networks aimed at frequent co-regulatory interactions may enhance medical students’ self-regulated learning in challenging clinical learning environments. Social network approaches offer pr omising ways of further understanding and conceptualising self- and co-regulated learning in clinical workplaces.
