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.

This study investigated the relationships between self-efficacy and self-regulated learning strategies of English Language Learners (ELL) in a college setting from a social cognitive perspective. Participants in this study were one hundred seventeen ELL college students who enrolled in an English language course at a Midwestern university. The results of simple linear regression analysis showed that ELL college students’ self-efficacy significantly predicted their use of self-regulated learning strategies. In addition, the results of a one-way ANOVA indicated a statistically significant difference in the use of self-regulated learning strategies between ELL college students who had high self-efficacy and those who had low self-efficacy. Based on study results, implications and future research directions are discussed.

Introduction.  Prior research consistently provides evidence supporting potential relationships between epistemological beliefs and learning. The current study examines the relationship between epistemological beliefs, academic motivation, and self-regulated learning strategies among different ethnic groups of American adolescents. Method.  This quantitative study utilized a correlational design to examine the relationship between epistemological beliefs and self-regulated learning strategies in adolescents attending middle school. A total of 364 middle school students (6th to 8th grade) from Southern California public middle schools participated in the study. A multiple group path model was employed to analyze the student data. Results.  We found that certain knowledge, omniscient authority, and innate ability beliefs about the nature of knowledge predict positive relationships with self-efficacy and intrinsic value components of motivation. Quick learning and simple knowledge beliefs predict negative relationships with self-efficacy and intrinsic-value but positive relationship with test-anxiety. Similarly, in the aspect of self-regulatory learning strategies, those who believe in the absolute nature of knowledge and the authorities tend to use cognitive and self-regulatory learning strategies more often, while those who believe in the speed of knowledge acquisition tend to employ those strategies less. Discussion and Conclusion. Findings from this study inform educators of the need to advance adolescents’ epistemological beliefs for each subject (e.g., science, language arts) as a method to facilitate their motivation and self-regulated learning. We recommend that future research should include assessments of the participants’ cultural orientations or the domain specificity of the epistemological beliefs, which may vary the associations of the beliefs with self-regulated learning. Additionally, future research can further investigate other potential mediators of the relationship between epistemological beliefs and self-regulatory learning.

En este trabajo se buscó evaluar en qué medida el tener un rendimiento académico alto, medio o bajo se relaciona con el tiempo dedicado al estudio, los procesos de autorregulación del aprendizaje y el desempeño académico posterior. La investigación se realizó con una muestra de 735 estudiantes universitarios (75% varones y 25% mujeres), con una edad media de 20 años (DT = 1.53). Se contrastó un modelo explicativo de relación entre las variables de estudio mediante el modelado de Ecuaciones Estructurales (SEM) multigrupo. Los resultados muestran que el modelo propuesto explica una buena parte de las relaciones entre las variables que lo integran. De manera específica, los alumnos con promedio más alto dedican más tiempo al estudio, que se asocia con una mayor percepción de capacidad para autorregular el aprendizaje así como con la utilidad percibida y un mayor uso de estrategias de autorregulación, lo cual repercute en el rendimiento académico posterior. AbstractThe objective of this work is to evaluate the importance of a high, average or low academic performance with respect to study time, self–regulated learning processes and later academic performance. The research was based on a sample of 735 university students (75% male and 25% female), with an average age of 20 years (DT = 1.53). An explanatory model of the relationship between study variables was contrasted using a multigroup structural equations model (SEM). The results show that the model proposed explains a good part of the relationships among the variables that comprise it. Generally speaking, students with an initial higher average dedicate more time to study. This is associated with a greater perception of a capacity to self–regulate learning, as well as with a perception of usefulness and a greater use of self–regulated learning strategies, which in turn affects later academic performance. Recibido: 31 de noviembre de 2015Aceptado: 24 de abril de 2016

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 examines the relationship between self-regulated learning strategies and students' academic performance in English courses. The research method is descriptive-correlational. The statistical population includes all students of Azad University, Gorgan branch in the period 2020-2021. convenience sampling based on the Morgan table is used to select 384 people. The data collection tool is Zimmerman and Martinez-Pons Self-Regulated Learning Interview Schedule (1998), and for academic performance, the average grade in English course in two semesters was taken into account. Pearson correlation analyzes the data. The results show a significant relationship between self-regulated learning strategies and the academic performance of English course students. Keywords: education, academic performance, learning strategy
