Background: Self-regulation related to cognition and behaviour is an important factor in learning and academic achievement. Self-regulated learning is defined as the process of learning in which students activate and develop their own cognition, motivation and behaviour through self-regulatory processes.Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the self-regulation skills of nursing students on a health education course in a state university in Turkey.Methods: The study sample consisted of 110 students who attended the class on the day of the survey and agreed to participate in the study. Data were collected with the Turkish version of the ‘Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire’, which was adapted by Büyüköztürk et al. (2004). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage and mean, as well as the Mann–Whitney U test, t-test and analysis of variance (ANOVA).Results: The results showed that the participants were motivated by external factors, using the elaboration strategy more frequently than other learning strategies. Second- and third-year students had various motivational levels and preferred different types of learning strategies, and those students who had more positive perceptions of the school, the course and the instructor evinced higher levels of internal responsibility and benefited from learning strategies more frequently.Conclusion: Nursing students were found to be predominantly motivated by extrinsic factors and preferred the elaboration learning strategy.

Abstract. Forty-five university students participated in a computer-based training program on self-regulated learning from expository text. The training program introduced students to a learning strategy helping them identify and highlight important text information. Students were randomly assigned to three treatment groups: (1) no training at all, (2) training in highlighting only, or (3) combined training in both highlighting and self-regulation. After completing the training, students were instructed to read an instructional text and apply the trained strategies. The extent to which they applied the strategies while reading the text was assessed, and the amount of knowledge and comprehension they had acquired and recalled from the text was measured. Results show that students in the combined training condition outperformed their counterparts in the learning strategy training condition, who in turn outperformed those with no training at all. The results are in line with recent self-regulated learning theories, which state that, in addition to teaching students specific cognitive learning strategies, it is worth training them to monitor and regulate their strategy use.

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.

Abstract This research study has been conducted to experiment an innovative teaching approach believing that when less use of self-regulated learning strategy leads to lower metacognitive learning attitude which results in low proficiency. This study has investigated the consequences of instructionally aroused cognitive involvement load for self-monitoring and self-assessment through facilitation of metacognitive learning strategy use for improving L2 writing skills of Thai undergraduate students. This innovative instructional model for teaching self-regulated L2 writing has been named as Strategic Self-Regulated Metacognitive Activities or S2RMCA. The approach of this model has been developed to promote self-regulated learning management. For stimulating the use of learning strategies, a set of self-monitoring and self-evaluating assessment rubric named Strategy Inventories for Learning L2 Writing (SILL2W) has also been devised. A set of questionnaire, pre-post-tests, checklist, and interviews were employed for collecting and analyzing the data. Results of data analyses have shown effectiveness and feasibility of the S2RMCA model for teaching self-regulated L2 writing. Satisfactory results have also been shown by participants in their L2 writing skills. So far, research studies conducted on cognitive involvement load, a continuing challenge has always been there regarding the accurate measurement of load via self-reporting and this study has also faced that challenge.

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.

The Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) strategies can be the best. It can be achieved by a sub-goal that will be more important in the younger generation. This paper proposes the process of developing factors (attributes) which are related to the development of learning styles through self-regulated strategies. The objectives of this paper are (1) to study the perception and attitude toward the attributes of students with self-regulated learning of the students in higher education, and (2) to find the level of acceptance towards the factor of SRL using applied statistics and machine learning technology. The results show that two tools have proved the respondents and the factors of SRL in the accepted level. Besides, the results found that Thai higher education students still focus on formal learning, which conflicts with the behavior and us-age of Internet and telephone in the classroom. In future work, the author is committed to develop and apply a self-regulated learning strategy model with a combination of collaborative learning strategies of blended learning. Also, it supports undergraduate students in analyzing the factors and studying the behavior patterns of learners in suitable modern learning.

One of the most known instruments for the evaluation of self regulated learning strategies is the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire. The aspect of self regulation investigated in this research is cognitive self regulation. The purpose of this research is to estimate the convergent validity of the cognitive and metacognitive MSLQ scales, after their translation in Romanian. Our main hypothesis is that there is high level of overlapping between self regulation measured by MSLQ (The Motivated Strategies of Learning Questionnaire) and self regulation measured by ILS (Inventory of Learning Styles). The analysis of the two revealed moderately positive inter­correlation. Convergent validity showed that cognitive and metacognitive self regulation scales from MSLQ are able to measure students' learning strategies in a reliable and valid fashion.

A sociedade atual, do conhecimento e da informação, requer do ensino superior novas dinâmicas mediadas pelas tecnologias, constituindo-se, nesse contexto, a Educação a Distância como modalidade de ensino privilegiada. Tornam-se relevantes a análise e a compreensão das formas de aquisição de conhecimento nessa modalidade por parte dos alunos, sendo o estudo da variável autorregulação da aprendizagem priorizada dada a sua importância para o sucesso acadêmico dos mesmos. O presente trabalho, após pesquisa guiada pelos atuais e credíveis repositórios português e brasileiro, RCAAP e CAPES, analisou artigos, dissertações de mestrado e teses de doutorado no âmbito da autorregulação da aprendizagem na Educação a Distância publicados no Brasil e em Portugal no período de 2010 a 2015. Os resultados encontrados apontam para quatro abordagens principais: o portfólio, como instrumento com imenso potencial da aprendizagem autorregulada; as estratégias de aprendizagem como extremamente importantes nos processos de autorregulação; estudos centrados no tutor e na forma como estes podem promover a autorregulação nos alunos; e, por último, as TIC, ou seja, as aplicações hipermédia como apoio à aprendizagem autorregulada. São necessários estudos mais aprofundados sobre este tema, incluindo a ampliação das plataformas de busca para um resultado mais abrangente.Palavras-chave: Autorregulação, E-learning, Educação a Distância. Self Regulation of Learning in the E-Learning Area - Analysis of the Scientific Works Performed in Brazil and Portugal in the Period of 2010 to 2015AbstractHigher education includes an integration of various technological tools and distance education is constituted as a privileged mode of education.

<p><em>Elementary School is foundation of education in Indonesia that is very important to curve character and success in academic when they are be adult. Many factors that influence in the formation of characters and academics success of the students one of them is the ability of self-regulation or Self-Regulated Learning in learning activities in elementary school. Self-Regulated Learning has an important role in the implementation of teaching and learning process, especially in determining the success of teaching and learning process, because students who have this ability can manage and self-directed, able to adjust, and self-control, especially when facing difficulties in the learning process. This research is limited to a preliminary study covering three steps: (a) initial data and information collection; (b) planning; and (c) initial product development. By applying the learning strategy of SRL, students can arrange themselves in learning by involving the ability of cognition, metacognition, motivation, and active behavior as well as managed learning or in other words learning that rests on self-regulation.</em></p>
