Abstract

Social standards nurture individual self-efficacy beliefs. Such models influence learners’ performance in so that they can learn to recognize in others, alternate means to think, act, and do. One of these models is the meaningful other, whose role is explained in the present paper. Together with the implications that are unveiled through its discovery and recognition instances in online environments and the analysis of learners’ actions along this process, this paper attempts at examining how useful might such recognition process be in the self-regulatory actions of learners. It is expected that instructors and researchers raise awareness on the recognition of meaningful others in online settings, in order to establish sound pedagogical proposals that might assist learners and teachers towards the appraisal of more efficient self-regulatory actions and successful academic performances.
