The objective of this research was to find out whether the implementation of mobile learning pedagogies in a high school classroom can educate high school students to become independent learners, who are able to regulate their learning, improve their achievements. The findings have been analyzed by taking into consideration the self-regulation scales of motivation and learning strategies, together with the significance of the students' scores. The results of this study show that the implementation of a mobile learning teaching unit does not affect the self-regulation learning abilities of the students. However, it does reveal an increase in external and internal motivation together with a shift in the application of learning strategies. As a result, a two-stage model has been proposed aiming to educate teenagers to become agents of their learning while they practice mobile learning as well as implementation of mobile seamless learning to promote a self-regulated learning.

<p class="Abstract">Problem-solving ability in mathematics is a primary means to understand a problem and develop the students ' ability in solving a problem. Step in solving problems are categorized to understanding the problem, devising a plan, carrying out the plan and reflection. This research used a descriptive method aimed to identify the problem-solving ability among junior high school students and review from students self-regulated learning (SRL).The subjects of the research were taken by one student in each SRL category (high, medium, and low) which then given the problem-solving test and the result was triangulated by interview. Based on the research, it can be stated that the students with high self-regulation can solve a mathematical problem by applying first indicator, the second indicator, third indicator, but they cannot apply the fourth indicator. The students with medium self-regulation can apply the first indicator and second indicator while they are still having the problem in third indicator and fourth indicator. The students with low category self-regulation cannot apply all of those in solving the mathematical problem.</p>

This study aims to identify the relationship between the grade 12 senior high school students’ conception of learning biology and their self-regulated learning strategies and the impact of these variables on the academic performance of the students. Two sets of questionnaires - the Conception of Learning Biology questionnaire and the Self-Regulated Learning Strategies questionnaire - were administered to students in the different public secondary schools in Cebu City whose schools offered Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) strand in the Senior High School curriculum. This research used exploratory factor analysis to analyze the data. The results reveal that there is a significant positive relationship among all the variables in the conception of learning biology and all factors in self-regulated strategies of senior high school students. The data further reveal that there is a significant positive relationship between the students’ academic performance and one of the factors of selfregulated learning strategies. The results of the study have implications on the teaching of biology particularly on understanding student’s conception of learning and their self-regulated learning strategies in order to achieve better academic outcomes. It is recommended for teachers to make necessary interventions in order to encourage students to develop advanced order conceptions of learning and higher order self-regulated learning strategies that would help them attain high academic performance.

This study investigated relations among measures of perceived control, autonomy, and self-regulated learning strategies for 228 junior high school (90 in Grade 7 and 138 in Grade 8) and 306 senior high school (184 in Grade 11 and 122 in Grade 12) students. Participants completed three self-report questionnaires designed to measure control beliefs, strategy beliefs, capacity beliefs, seven types of motivation, and two types of self-regulated strategies. Confirmatory factor analysis identified the structure of perceived control modeled by Skinner, Chapman, and Baltes (1988), the seven-factor structure of autonomy by Vallerand, Pelletier, Blais, Briere, Senecal, and Vallieres (1992, 1993), and the two types of self-regulated learning strategies by Pintrich and De Groot (1990). Significant “grade” differences were obtained in several measures. Canonical correlation was used to investigate the relations between perceived control and autonomy measures. Finally, multiple regression analysis was used to investigate the relations between perceived control and self-regulated learning strategies and between autonomy and self-regulated learning strategies. Implications of the results are presented.
