This research aims to explore the differences among self regulating learning aspect of math education students-FKIP Undana involving three groups of students which are the first level (the first semester), second level (fifth semester) and third level (ninth semesters) students to review the ability of the individual. The samples included 167 students that consist of 60 students of the first level (18 with high ability; 27 with average ability and 15 with low ability), 64 students of the second level (16 with high ability, 30 with average ability and 18 with low ability) and 43 students of the third level (6 with high ability, 24 with average ability and 13 with low ability). This research is a survey research. The data collection is done by distributing questionnaires on self-regulated learning to those three groups. SRL questionnaire consists of 10 aspects, goal setting, motivation, learning difficulties analysis, self-efficacy, election strategies, meta cognition, resource management, performance evaluation, evaluation of the understanding, and self-satisfaction. Two-way ANOVA was utilized in the data analysis of this study. The results of the analysis showed that, the first level group is more excellent in SRL than two other levels. In a review of capabilities, the average comparison of all three groups showed that the average-ability students excel both the high and low-ability students in SRL.

Durante las últimas décadas se han encontrado importantes diferencias por sexo en la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de las disciplinas científicas. Por otro lado, la autoevaluación por parte de los estudiantes supone un aspecto fundamental en el ciclo de autorregulación del aprendizaje y, por tanto, en su rendimiento. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la metacognición de los estudiantes de secundaria y, en particular, el efecto del sexo en las mismas. Para ello se ha medido la calibración de 507 estudiantes. Nuestros análisis muestran que las chicas calibran mejor su nota que los chicos a pesar de que estos últimos muestran más seguridad en sus juicios. Se ha encontrado una tendencia de ambos sexos a la sobreestimación de sus calificaciones en una prueba escrita. Por otro lado, los estudiantes con alto rendimiento son más precisos y tienden a sobrevalorar sus actuaciones. En cambio, los de rendimiento bajo son más imprecisos y tienden a subestimar sus calificaciones en la prueba. Aunque este efecto se observa en ambos sexos, su tamaño es superior en el caso de las chicas. En vista de los resultados, los estudiantes de rendimiento alto utilizan con más eficacia la retroalimentación que generan durante la prueba que los de rendimiento bajo. Las diferencias por sexo podrían tener su origen en las diferentes actitudes y motivaciones de los chicos y las chicas hacia la ciencia. During the last decades, important sex differences have been found in the context of science education. Besides, self-assessment is crucial in the cycle of self-regulated learning and, consequently, in students’ performance. The main goal of the present investigation is to analyze secondary school students’ metacognition and, in particular, the effect of gender. To this aim, a sample of 507 students took part in our study. Our analyses show that girls are better calibrated than boys in spite of being the latter more confident in their predictions. A general tendency towards overestimations has been found for both sexes. Moreover, high-achieving students tend to be more precise and underestimate their performance and low-achieving students tend to be less precise and overestimate their grade in the test. Although this effect was found in both sexes, the size effect was large in the case of girls. In light of our results, high-achieving students make a better use of self-generated feedback than low-achievers. Sex differences in calibration could be explained by the different attitudes and motivations of boys and girls towards science.
