The current study aimed to identify the level of students’ practice of self-regulated learning strategies, their level of motivation for academic achievement, and whether there is a correlation between self-regulated learning strategies and motivation for students’ academic achievement, at the University of Hail. The study sample consisted of (836) male and female students from the College of Education at the University of Hail; They were selected randomly. To achieve the objectives of the study, a scale of self-regulated learning strategies was developed, and the Hazen, Sobhi and Shaheen scale (2014) was used to measure the students' academic achievement motivation. The results of the study revealed that the level of students’ practice of self-regulated learning strategies at the University of Hail was at a high level, and statistically significant at the significance level (α = 0.05). The level of motivation for academic achievement was at an average level. There was also a positive correlation between the self-regulated learning strategies and the motivation for academic achievement among students, where the correlation coefficient reached (760). In light of the results of the study, the study recommended building training programs aimed at training university students to practice self-regulated learning strategies, and other programs that would lead to raising the level of academic achievement.

In the wake of COVID-19, university students have experienced fundamental changes of their learning and their lives as a whole. The present research identifies psychological characteristics associated with students’ well-being in this situation. We investigated relations of basic psychological need satisfaction (experienced competence, autonomy, and relatedness) with positive emotion and intrinsic learning motivation, considering self-regulated learning as a moderator. Self-reports were collected from 6,071 students in Austria (Study 1) and 1,653 students in Finland (Study 2). Structural equation modeling revealed competence as the strongest predictor for positive emotion. Intrinsic learning motivation was predicted by competence and autonomy in both countries and by relatedness in Finland. Moderation effects of self-regulated learning were inconsistent, but main effects on intrinsic learning motivation were identified. Surprisingly, relatedness exerted only a minor effect on positive emotion. The results inform strategies to promote students’ well-being through distance learning, mitigating the negative effects of the situation.
