Abstract Background:The sudden COVID-19 outbreak has posed challenges to the normal development of continuing education for general practitioners. Consequently, an online medical training program for family doctors has emerged. Online study helps us better understand the laws of self-regulated learning because we can track the process and outcome of family physicians and compare it to that of face-to-face training programs. The study track the GPCC online program to reveal this principle.Results:By recording learners’ study behaviors and explore the law of learning progress and analyse the impact of latent variables on learning through structural equation models,the study find that the the impact of teacher support and supervision and of internal motivation on learning input and the influence of teacher support and supervision on internal motivation can be researched through online study.Conclusions:Online study helps us better understand the laws of self-regulated learning. It helps to better understand the impact of teacher support, supervision, and internal motivation on learning input , as well as the influence of teacher support and supervision on internal motivation. Examining online study can also help in making effective use of the self-education characteristics of internal motivation and cultivate the ability of independent thinking and learning self-discipline .

Abstract. We describe the development and validation of an instrument for measuring the affective component of primary school teachers’ attitudes towards self-regulated learning. The questionnaire assesses the affective component towards those cognitive and metacognitive strategies that are especially effective in primary school. In a first study (n = 230), the factor structure was verified via an exploratory factor analysis. A confirmatory factor analysis with data from a second study (n = 400) indicated that the theoretical factor structure is appropriate. A comparison with four alternative models identified the theoretically derived factor structure as the most appropriate. Concurrent validity was demonstrated by correlations with a scale that measures the degree to which teachers create learning environments that enable students to self-regulate their learning. Retrospective validity was demonstrated by correlations with a scale that measures teachers’ experiences with self-regulated learning. In a third study (n = 47), the scale’s concurrent validity was tested with scales measuring teachers’ evaluation of the desirability of different aspects of self-regulated learning in class. Additionally, predictive validity was demonstrated via a binary logistic regression, with teachers attitudes as predictor on their registration for a workshop on self-regulated learning and their willingness to implement a seven-week training program on self-regulated learning.
