Self-regulated learning embodies students' autonomy in learning and their rich vitality, making it an indispensable learning method in the 21st century. In the future, the goal of school education will be to cultivate students who are innovative, critical thinkers and can adapt to a rapidly changing society. The shortcomings of traditional education have become apparent, and integrating self-regulated learning into school education can effectively address these deficiencies. By analyzing and organizing theories of self-regulated learning, it is evident that self-regulated learning methods can be taught, with teachers playing a guiding and supportive role. A Taiwanese elementary school mathematics teacher implemented a nine-week self-regulated learning program in the classroom. The teacher used quantitative and qualitative analyses to evaluate students' academic achievements and observe changes in their learning attitudes. Action research demonstrated that, even within the highly structured context of school education, self-regulated learning could fulfill academic requirements and promote students' self-education and self-management, as well as collaboration between teachers and students and among peers. The Freinet free writing curriculum offers an effective pathway for incorporating self-regulated learning into school education.
