" The more I learn,
the more I realize I
don't know. The
more I realize I don't
know, the more I
want to learn."
Albert Einstein
“Preservice
teachers, who
engage in self-
regulation of
learning, would be
those who display
competence, high
self-efficacy beliefs,
willingness to delay
gratification, and
take a proactive
position regarding
their learning
process.”
Bembenutty & Chen,
2005
" It is impossible for
a man to learn what
he thinks he already
knows." Epictetus
