AbstractTeachers play a major role in the effectiveness of student learning. Teacher’s competence contributes to their classroom practice. We applied a generic model of teacher competence to the specific context of teachers’ promotion of self-regulated learning (SRL) in the classroom, and investigated teachers’ competence profiles regarding SRL (study 1) and how teachers’ competence can moderate the effectiveness of teacher training (study 2). In the first step, in study 1 191 teachers were assessed according to different characteristics that have been found to be important aspects of teacher competence (knowledge, beliefs, and self-efficacy). To investigate how these characteristics co-occur in teachers we determined latent profiles of teacher competence regarding SRL. To this end, and the data were subjected to a latent profile analysis that yielded two levels of competence profile: low and high competence to promote SRL. These competence profiles were positively associated with teachers’ self-reported SRL practice in the classroom. Next, to test whether these competence profiles affect teachers’ competence development, we conducted a training study. In this study 2, we examined the effects of an 8-h long teacher training about SRL on the development of teachers’ competence (knowledge, beliefs, self-efficacy) and on their SRL practice in the classroom with a repeated measures control group design. Forty-five teachers participated in the training, and these teachers and their 543 students evaluated the effectiveness of the training. Training effects were found on the teacher level, but not on the student level. Teachers who participated in the training outperformed the control teachers in their development of self-efficacy to foster SRL, and their perceived SRL practice. Moreover, teachers’ competence profiles moderated the training effect, showing that teachers with an initially high competence benefitted more from the training. Applying a generic model of teacher competence to the context of promoting SRL seems beneficial to inspire future research on indicators of teachers’ SRL practice.

The study’s aim was to develop an intervention program and to evaluate its contribution to students’ self-regulated learning (SRL) and text analysis skills. In a student-focused training approach, the students themselves acquired the training strategies, whereas in the teacher-focused training, the teachers were enabled to explicitly impart these strategies to their students. In order to investigate the effectiveness of the intervention in terms of transfer benefits on SRL and text analysis skills, 274 lower secondary students were examined in a pretest-training-posttest design. Based on two different training approaches, a distinction was made between four groups: student training (singleST), teacher training (singleTT), combination of student and teacher training (ComT), and control group (CG). Substantially more transfer was revealed in all training conditions as compared to the control group. Specifically, the singleST group showed the highest learning gains for all variables. Conversely, a combination of both approaches (ComT) did not result in synergetic effects, but rather in reciprocal interferences.

The goal of this study was to evaluate the extent to which training that emphasizes the process of executive function (EF) and self-regulated learning (SRL) would result in increased reading comprehension; we also evaluated interrelationships of EF, SRL, and reading. We report an experiment ( N = 75 fourth graders) that contrasted two researcher-implemented conditions (text-based reading [TB] and text-based reading plus executive function [TB+EF]) to a control. We also evaluated relationships among measures of SRL, EF, and reading. Both the TB and TB+EF groups outperformed the control group for proximal text comprehension (where the topic was similar to that covered in training) and background knowledge related to it, but the two researcher-led groups performed similarly. There were no significant differences for less proximal text, and again similar performance for both TB and TB+EF. Correlations among measures were weak in general, although the pattern was similar to that found in the extant literature. The findings speak to the difficulty in separating these components from those of strong instruction more generally. The relationships of these constructs to reading comprehension will likely be enhanced by more sensitive measurement of EF and reading comprehension, particularly where tied to active treatment components.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efektivitas pelatihan “Strategi Mengajar SRL” dalam meningkatkan selfefficacy dan SRL belief pada guru SD X yang menggunakan pendekatan instruksional student-centered, di mana keberhasilan pelatihan dilandaskan pada prinsip teori sosial-kognitif yaitu interaksi antara individu, lingkungan dan perilaku. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada bulan April-Mei 2017. Partisipan penelitian terdiri dari 7 guru sekolah dasar X yang dibagi ke dalam dua kelompok yaitu 4 guru pada kelompok eksperimen dan 3 lainnya pada kelompok kontrol. Jumlah partisipan dalam kelompok eksperimen terdiri dari 3 perempuan dan 1 laki-laki, serta 3 orang perempuan pada kelompok kontrol. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain penelitian eksperimental dengan pretest-posttest control group design. Instrumen pengumpulan data yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah Teacher’s Self-Efficacy (TSE) (Schwarzer et al., 1999) dan Self-Regulated Learning Teacher’s Belief (SRLTB) (Lombaerts et al., 2009). Data dianalisis dengan teknik paired sample t test dengan kriteria statistik non parametrik one sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov. Perhitungan dilakukan dengan membandingkan skor pretest dan posttest TSE dan SRLTB pada kelompok kontrol dan pada kelompok eksperimen. Berdasarkan perhitungan uji beda, didapatkan skor t=-4,382 dan p= 0,022 (p< 0,05) pada teacher’s self-efficacy kelompok eksperimen serta t=-3,820 dan p=0,032 pada SRL teacher’s belief kelompok eksperimen. Hal ini menjelaskan bahwa hipotesis penelitian diterima, artinya pelatihan “Strategi Mengajar SRL” meningkatkan self-efficacy dan SRL belief guru SD X.

Teachers play a key role in the development of self-regulated learning (SRL), especially in primary education. However, current results indicate that teachers are either inadequately or only moderately fulfilling this key function, as they spend little time in the instruction of SRL strategies. The objective of the current study was, therefore, to develop an intervention that guides teachers to provide students with SRL strategies and investigate if additional teacher training (ATT) can enhance the intervention effects. Data of 607 fourth-graders were used to analyze their SRL within a pretest/posttest control-group design using a questionnaire and a learning diary. Contrasting the data of the groups actively participating in the intervention (simple intervention group and trained-teachers intervention group) with the data of a passive control group revealed positive effects of the intervention in terms of an increase in their reported use of SRL strategies (questionnaire and diary data). However, we found no transfer effects on achievement, as well as that the ATT had no beneficial effect on results at the student level. For fourth-graders, the developed intervention seems appropriate to impart SRL strategies to them. For teachers, it represents a potential opportunity to instruct SRL strategies to their students in their classes.

Background: We aimed to investigate the relationship among mobile phone dependence, self-efficacy for self-regulated learning, time management disposition, and academic procrastination in Chinese students majoring in physical education. In addition, we explored the mediating roles of self-efficacy for self-regulated learning and time management disposition in the relationship between mobile phone dependence and academic procrastination. Methods: We adopted a random sampling method to identify 324 physical education majors at five universities in Shaanxi Province, China in 2020. Data were analyzed via exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis, structural equation model analysis, and path analysis. Results: Mobile phone dependence had significant positive effects on academic procrastination (P<0.001) and self-efficacy for self-regulated learning (P<0.05) but a significant negative effect on time management disposition (P<0.001). Self-efficacy for self-regulated learning had a significant positive effect on academic procrastination (P<0.001), while time management disposition had a significant negative effect on academic procrastination (P<0.01). Notably, self-efficacy for self-regulated learning and time management disposition mediated the relationship between mobile phone dependence and academic procrastination (P<0.05). Conclusion: In addition to its direct effect on academic procrastination, mobile phone dependence exerts an indirect effect via time management disposition and self-regulated learning efficacy. Reducing students’ dependence on mobile phones is necessary for attenuating academic procrastination on university campuses. Thus, universities should aim to restrict the use of mobile phones in the classroom, actively cultivate students’ confidence in their self-regulated learning ability, and educate them regarding appropriate time values.

This study was a pre test-post test experiment without control group design having a goal to examine the role of Prior Mathematics Ability (PMA), Sylver  approach (SA) toward student’s mathematical creative thinking ability (MCTA) and Self Regulated Learning (SRL).  The study involved  65 eleven  grade student, a PMA test, a MCTA test, and SRL scale. The study found that PMA and SA took good role on obtaining student’s MCTA, its N<Gain> and SRL. On student’s MCTA, and its N<Gain> students getting treatment with SA attained better grades than that of students taught by conventional teaching, and the  grades were still at medium level.  On SRL,  there was no different grades between students on both teaching approaches, and those grades were at fairly good  level.  The other findings, there was no association between MCTA and SRL, and students performed high perception toward SA.
