Self-regulated learning places the student at the center of the learning process, in an active and conscious way. The teacher assumes the role of a mediator of learning, guiding students through a path composed of several stages that enable them to achieve their learning goals. This study is part of the Way Project, whose objective is to develop self-regulated learning among secondary school students through observation and peer feedback activities. We reflect on the experiences and perceptions of teachers from different subject areas after the implementation of these activities in their classes. A descriptive analysis was carried out based on the lesson plans of the tasks proposed to students, the scripts used by students in the activities where they observed their peers, and the teachers’ testimonies collected in focus groups. The results suggest that most of the activities analyzed promote the three phases of Zimmerman’s model (1998; 2002) and incorporate observation and peer feedback moments as key strategies for self-regulation. However, the implementation of these practices presented challenges, which teachers mainly associate with the need for more time for their implementation.
