The study aimed at finding out the effect of students' self-regulated learning on their academic achievement in the subject of English. The study was conducted at the secondary level in the province of Punjab. It was quantitative in nature and employed a true experimental design (pre-test post-test control group). It was significant for teachers, curriculum stakeholders, training bodies, and policymakers. For the study sampling, a simple random sampling technique was used. Students' achievement test was developed for pre-test and post-test. The study sample consisted of sixty students of grade IX and they were divided into two groups; experimental and control. A pre-test was conducted on both groups to measure their current status of academic achievement. After the pre-test, the subject of English was taught to the experimental group by using self-regulated learning strategies while the traditional method (dominantly lecture method) was adopted to teach the control group. A post-test was conducted after an intervention of 16 weeks. The results of the test were compared by using a t-test. For data analysis, SPSS was used and results were interpreted accordingly. The study results revealed a significant difference between the test score results of the students. The study recommended appropriate teachers' training to use self-regulated learning strategies effectively at the secondary level. Textbook contents were also recommended to be devised supportive to gauge self-regulated learning.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of learning station strategies on developing academic achievement and self-regulated learning among middle school students of low socioeconomic status. The sample group consisted of 68 female Saudi students. We applied a quasi-experimental design with an experimental and control group and a pretest and posttest. We examined the correlation between academic achievement and self-regulated learning. The data collection instruments included an academic achievement test and self-regulated learning questionnaire. The results revealed a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of both instruments in favor of the experimental group. Additionally, there was a positive relationship between development of academic achievement and self-regulated learning among the students for the experimental group. The study’s findings suggest that the learning stations created a dynamic classroom, which prompted students to engage in self-regulatory behaviors and develop their knowledge and understanding.

AbstractThis study examined the development of students’ language skills in a flipped English foreign language course designed with self-regulated learning strategies. The study was conducted with a quasi-experimental design. While the experimental group received the course through flipped classroom model designed with self-regulated learning strategies, control group did not use self-regulated learning strategies in the flipped classroom model. The results indicated that self-regulated learning strategies positively affected the development of foreign language skills in the flipped classroom model. A significant difference in favor of the group working with the platform including self-regulated learning strategies outperformed in speaking, reading, writing, and grammar test scores. However, no significant difference in the listening test results was found.

The flipped classroom strategy (FCRS) is an innovative instructional approach that flips the traditional teacher-centered classroom into student-centered learning, by switching the classroom and home activities using the available educational technology. This paper examined the effect of (FCRS) on students’ achievement and self-regulated learning skills (SRLS) for 60 students enrolled in Comp101N course. The findings revealed a significant difference in both the mean of achievement test scores and SRLS scale of experimental group students and control group students in favor of the experimental group. A similar difference was found in the pre- and post-test achievement scores of experimental group students in favor of the post-test. The study recommended wider use of the FCRS in higher education and for post-graduate students.

Background: Smartphone applications have the potential to support university students for the benefit of learning in higher education. Objective: To design and evaluate the effect of an intra-curricular program using a mobile application on self-regulated learning strategies in university students. Method: The 4Planning mobile application was designed following a systematic literature review, expert judgement and application. The instrument to assess the effect of the intervention was the SRL Readiness Practices Scale, with a one-factor structure (CFI = 0.98; TLI = 0.97; RMSEA = 0.05) with reliability of α = 0.89. The design was quasi-experimental with pre- and post-test measures and experimental and control groups. The sample consisted of 473 first-year university students (37.02% male) from seven Chilean universities with a mean age of 19.35 (SD = 2.49). Statistical analysis was an ANOVA performed in R software version 4.0.3. Results: Statistically significant differences were identified in the levels of self-regulated learning between the experimental group compared to the control group. Conclusion: The development of the 4Planning app proved to be effective in promoting the development of self-regulated learning strategies in university students.

<p>This study aimed at describing an effect of implementing self regulated learning (SRL) models towards students’ achievement in Introduction to Accounting course. The study was conducted at the Department of Accounting in 2015/2016 utilizing a post-test only control group design, involving the second semester students as the subject. The Samples were determined based on simple random sampling in which every individual in the population had an equal chance to be chosen as a sample. The results of the post-test indicated that the students who were treated with self regulated learning (SRL) models had better achievement than those treated with a conventional model. The means score of the experimental group was 79.64 higher than that the control group which was only 69.39. It can be concluded that the students’ achievement of experimental group was better than the control group. The result of t-test indicated that the assumption of equal variance not assumed significance probability 2.479 and the significant level about 0.016 (two tail), meaning that significance less than 0.05. The null hypothesis was rejected and the alternative hypothesis was accepted. This conclude that there was a significant difference between the students’ achievement treated by self regulated learning (SRL) models and those treated with conventional models.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Keywords: </strong><em>SRL</em>, Media ICT, Learning Outcomes</p>

This study was a pre test-post test experiment without control group design having a goal to examine the role of Prior Mathematics Ability (PMA), Sylver  approach (SA) toward student’s mathematical creative thinking ability (MCTA) and Self Regulated Learning (SRL).  The study involved  65 eleven  grade student, a PMA test, a MCTA test, and SRL scale. The study found that PMA and SA took good role on obtaining student’s MCTA, its N<Gain> and SRL. On student’s MCTA, and its N<Gain> students getting treatment with SA attained better grades than that of students taught by conventional teaching, and the  grades were still at medium level.  On SRL,  there was no different grades between students on both teaching approaches, and those grades were at fairly good  level.  The other findings, there was no association between MCTA and SRL, and students performed high perception toward SA.

The main purpose of the present article is to estimate academic achievement and gender peer effects on social comparisons and self-regulated learning behaviors in a Taiwanese EFL context. The participating students were 50 non-English-major freshmen studying in Central Taiwan. Analyses of the data reveal the following findings. First, female students preferred or felt more comfortable making social comparisons with other female students, and they applied more self-regulated learning strategies. Second, male students had a stronger drive to make social comparisons, and they would prepare harder over time for the tests. Third, students with relatively low ability tended toward upward comparison and tended to give up or only study the easy parts.
