Resumo: A autorregulação apresenta-se como um conceito extenso e vem sendo utilizado nos mais diferentes contextos e áreas de conhecimento. O estudo buscou averiguar a associação de atitudes de estudo e a utilização de estratégias de aprendizagem autorregulada por licenciandos dos cursos de Química e de Física. A amostra de 66 estudantes do Campus Petrolina do IF SertãoPE, foi analisado se o gênero e o curso podem ser associados à utilização de estratégias de aprendizado autorregulado. A pesquisa utilizou-se de questionários de escala nominal para descrição de atitudes de estudo autorreguladas e perfil socioeconômico dos voluntários. A análise dos dados ocorreu através de um software estatístico, com uso de testes descritivos e inferenciais. Os resultados apontaram correlações significativas entre memória e planejamento, controle e conhecimento processual, indicando associação linear entre as variáveis, significando que os estudantes demonstraram que fazem associação entre atitudes de estudo e a utilização de aprendizado autorregulado. Abstract: Self-regulation is an extensive concept and has been used in different contexts and areas of knowledge. The study sought to investigate the association of study attitudes and the use of self-regulated learning strategies by undergraduates of Chemistry and Physics courses. The sample of 66 students from the Petrolina Campus of the IFSertãoPE was analyzed if gender and course could be associated with the use of self-regulated learning strategies. The research used nominal scale questionnaires to describe self-regulated study attitudes and socioeconomic profile of the volunteers. Data analysis was performed using statistical software, using descriptive and inferential tests. The results showed significant correlations between memory and planning, control and procedural knowledge, indicating a linear association between the variables, meaning that students demonstrated an association between study attitudes and the use of self-regulated learning. Keywords: Self-regulation; metacognition; learning.

Personal processes, the environment, and individual behaviors of both teachers and students are factors that facilitate students' use of self-regulation learning strategies in reading. Some environmental conditions, such as organization of materials and clear expectations, support the development and use of self-regulation learning (SRL) strategies in reading. Teachers who use explicit instruction and modeling of SRL strategies have more students who can use self-regulation to read for longer periods and respond to higher order thinking questions. However, there are highly self-regulated students (even though fewer numbers) in low self-regulation classrooms, suggesting that individual differences in SRL strategies exist among gifted students and perhaps some gifted students as early as fifth grade have already attained the individual ability to use self-regulated learning SRL strategies to read and learn. The combination of domain-specific strategy instruction in reading combined with the use of SRL strategies to support knowledge acquisition seems to help more students in the higher self-regulation classroom achieve and maintain focus during reading instruction.

Objective: The present study examined the relation between self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies and ADHD and sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT) symptomatology. Method: Participants were 303 college students, aged 18 to 25 ( M = 20.04, SD = 1.45), from a Midwestern university who completed the Barkley Adult ADHD Rating Scale-IV (BAARS-IV), and a shortened, generalized version of the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ). Results: Among college students, inattention symptomatology was consistently predictive of deficits in use of value, expectancy, and self-regulation strategies, while SCT symptomatology was only predictive of deficits in the use of self-regulation strategies. Conclusion: This study is the first to examine the relation between SCT symptomatology and SRL strategy use in college students. The findings revealed that SRL strategy use differs between college students exhibiting ADHD or SCT symptomatology. Remediation focusing on these deficits would likely increase academic achievement. Clinical implications, limitations, and suggestions for future research are discussed.

Shift to autonomous learning changed roles of class actors in EFL classes. Students have learning responsibilities on their own, whereas teachers’ role is considered to be as a consulter. Thus, students need to identify their own learning goals and regulate learning process themselves. All these and other strategies are included to the self-regulation strategies. Zimmerman (1990) found out 14 SRL strategies which influence on academic achievement. However, teachers also need to promote these strategies during and out of classes and encourage EFL learners to use them in different contexts. The qualitative research investigates to what extent EFL teachers of senior grade students encourage their learners to use SRL strategies. In results, the study presents teachers’ more preferable SRL strategies for senior students to achieve academic achievement.Keywords:  EFL teachers, self-regulated learning strategies, senior grade EFL students, classroom activities.

Students’ engagement and persistence in test preparation require their use of self-regulated learning strategies to negate distraction and facilitate good preparation. This research aimed to investigate students’ self-regulation strategies when taking a TOEFL preparation course, by measuring their attitudes towards the course and analyzing the correlation between their pre-test and progress test scores. The data collected comprised self-reported answers from a Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire and the scores of a pre-test and progress test taken by the students during the course. The students were cognizant that hard work affected learning performance, valuing in particular overcoming difficult tasks or continuing to learn even when performance lagged. A strong positive correlation was also found between pre-test and progress test scores (r = 0.8422), indicating high academic performance in the students. These findings emphasize the importance of developing students’ methods of learning and practice. Students should be empowered to become regulated-learners, and should be made more aware of different self-regulated learning strategies to better evaluate, regulate, and improve their own performance.

This paper addresses the issue of how to assess learners’ engagement with activities designed to develop self-regulatory learning strategies in the context of foreign language teaching and learning. The argument is that, if the aim of these activities is the development of learners’ self-regulation, then the assessment practices used must also reflect this orientation. The problem herein is that traditional assessment practices are typically normative in nature, endorsing understandings of intelligence as fixed and failure as unacceptable. Using such approaches to assess learner engagement with self-regulated learning activities will undermine efforts to promote learner development, and may demotivate learners. This paper will discuss these issues through a critical reflection on assessment practices used to evaluate EFL learners’ engagement with an assessable homework activity designed to develop their self-regulatory strategies. It is argued that learning-oriented assessment principles and practices are most suited to the evaluation of self-regulated learning in EFL. Potential issues related to the application of learning-oriented assessment in EFL contexts are also discussed.

Generally considered as a prevalent occurrence in academic settings, procrastination was analyzed in association with constructs such as self-efficacy, self-esteem, anxiety, stress, and fear of failure. This study investigated the role played by self-regulated learning strategies in predicting procrastination among university students. To this purpose, the relationships of procrastination with cognitive and metacognitive learning strategies and time management were explored in the entire sample, as well as in male and female groups. Gender differences were taken into account due to the mixed results that emerged in previous studies. This cross-sectional study involved 450 university students (M = 230; F = 220; Mage = 21.08, DS = 3.25) who completed a self-reported questionnaire including a sociodemographic section, the Tuckman Procrastination Scale, the Time Management Scale, and the Metacognitive Self-Regulation and Critical Thinking Scales. Descriptive and inferential analyses were applied to the data. The main findings indicated that temporal and metacognitive components play an important role in students’ academic achievement and that, compared to females, males procrastinate more due to poor time management skills and metacognitive strategies. Practical implications were suggested to help students to overcome their dilatory behavior.

This study examines the relationships between self-efficacy, task value, and the use of self-regulated learning strategies by massive open online course (MOOC) learners from a social cognitive perspective. A total of 184 participants who enrolled in two MOOCs completed surveys. The results of Pearson’s correlation analysis show a positive correlation between self-efficacy and the use of self-regulated learning strategies, as well as a positive correlation between task value and the use of self-regulated learning strategies. The results of hierarchical multiple regression analysis show that self-efficacy and task value are significant predictors of the use of self-regulated learning strategies. There was a statistically significant difference in the use of self-regulated learning strategies between learners who possessed high self-efficacy and those who possessed low self-efficacy. In addition, learners who had high task value showed statistically significant higher average self-regulated learning scores than those who had low task value. Implications and future research directions are discussed based on the findings.
