Introducción: conocer las diferencias en los procesos de autorregulación del aprendizaje del alumnado actual es clave para la mejora de la formación en nuestras universidades. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar la variabilidad en dichos procesos en función del género, la especialidad, las notas (de acceso y de grado) y otras variables de desempeño académico. Método: participaron en el estudio 456 estudiantes (335 mujeres y 119 hombres) de los Grados en Educación Infantil y Primaria que completaron la versión en español del Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (Ramírez, Canto, Bueno & Echezarreta, 2013) junto a datos relativos al desempeño académico. Resultados: Se mostró la existencia de diferencias en aprendizaje autorregulado en función del género, pero no de la especialidad ni de la interacción entre género*especialidad. También se reveló que las alumnas poseían mayor autorregulación que los alumnos tanto en variables motivacionales como en estrategias de aprendizaje. A continuación, se hallaron diferencias en aprendizaje autorregulado en función de la nota de acceso, de grado y de la interacción género*nota de grado. Aunque de manera general estos datos confirman que “a mayor nota de acceso, mejor autorregulación”, los resultados desvelaron un declive del alumnado con mejores notas de grado en varias subescalas exceptuando en aprendizaje entre iguales. Finalmente, se mostró que las alumnas perciben la carrera con mayor dificultad, dedican más horas y presentan un mejor rendimiento académico de lo esperado. Discusión: Estas diferencias entre el alumnado deberían ser consideradas para potenciar la autorregulación en las aulas. Introduction: Identifying differences in self-regulatory processes among current students is key to improve training in our universities. The aim of this study is to analyze the variability in the aforementioned processes according to gender, teaching specialty, grades (admission grade and grade point average, GPA) and other variables related to academic performance. Method: 456 Primary Education and Early Childhood Education students participated in the study (335 women and 119 men) by completing the Spanish version of the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (Ramírez, Canto, Bueno & Echezarreta, 2013). Results: Differences were found in self-regulated learning based on gender, but not on specialty or on the interaction between gender*specialty. It was also shown that female students had greater self-regulatory skills than male students in both motivational variables and learning strategies. Besides, differences were found in self-regulated learning according to admission grade, grade point average and the interaction gender*grade point average. Although, overall, the data obtained confirm that "the higher the admission grade, the better self-regulatory skills", results revealed a decline among students with better grades in several subscales except for peer learning. Finally, it was shown that female students have a higher awareness of the degree’s difficulty, dedicate more hours and present a better academic performance than expected. Discussion: These differences between students should be considered in order to promote self-regulation in the classroom.

Objectives: To determine the relationships between the use of self-regulated learning strategies and academic achievement among Vietnamese medical students. Methods: An accelerated prospective cohort study among 623 students at a public medical university, Vietnam was conducted during the academic year 2012-2013. Fourteen self-regulated learning subscales including intrinsic/extrinsic goal orientation, task values, self-efficacy for learning, control of learning beliefs, rehearsal, elaboration, organization, critical thinking, meta-cognitive strategies, time and study environment, effort regulation, peer learning, and help seeking were measured using the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire. The Grade Point Average was recorded through two consecutive semesters of the academic year 2012-2013. Data were collected at two points in time (once each semester). Generalized Estimating Equation was applied to explore any relationships between the use of self-regulated learning subscales and Grade Point Average, adjusting for the effects of within cluster correlation, National Medical Admission Test scores, and times of measurement, depression, anxiety, stress, and demographic covariates. Results: Results from multivariate analysis revealed that extrinsic goal orientation, time and study environment, and effort regulation were found to be significantly positively associated with Grade Point Average (mean difference: 0.932; 95%CI: 0.344 to 1.528). Conclusions: The use of self-regulated learning strategies can be helpful for improving of academic achievement among Vietnamese medical students. Key words: self-regulated learning, academic achievement, medical students, Vietnam

This study was motivated by the low levels of academic achievement obtained by the University students, the objective was to explain the difference between those who are successful and those who are not. The theory of self- regulation of learning was used, so to identify them, a descriptive, non-experimental, cross-sectional, correlational study was carried out, with a convenience sample. The data were obtained through a survey, which reflects self-regulated learning, applied to 268 students, and was analyzed using the SPSS 18 statistic. The result was that, of the two roles of self-regulated learning, the one that has a greater relationship with outstanding academic performance was that of learning strategies in the components: metacognitive self-regulation and regulation of effort. Regarding the role of motivation, only the anxiety component was related to this performance, in the opposite direction: the higher the anxiety, the lower the academic performance. It is recommended to implement an institutional program to reinforce learning strategies, with special emphasis on metacognitive self-regulation and effort regulation. In the case of anxiety, it is recommended to deepen the study of the causes that originate it, to reduce its incidence.

We explored the predictive effect of goal-oriented learning strategies on Chinese adult students' academic performance in distance learning, using self-regulated learning as the underpinning theory. The relationship was analyzed using structural equation modeling, and the results indicated that self-regulation strategies and goal orientation were positively related to academic achievement. We also found a significant and positive indirect relationship of mastery goal orientation and academic performance through self-regulated learning strategies. Further, the performance-approach goal orientation had a positive indirect influence on academic performance, with the effort-regulation strategy fully mediating this relationship. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.

This study aims to analyze the mathematical disposition and self-regulated learning of online lectures with the help of Google Classroom. This type of research is descriptive quantitative. This study's subjects were 34 students of the first semester of the Mathematics Education Study Program consisting of 11 male students and 23 female students determined by the saturated sampling method. From the research results, it can be concluded that students' mathematical disposition through learning assisted by Google Classroom has high criteria. The mathematical disposition of male and female students through learning assisted by Google Classroom has high criteria. Still, the level of mathematical disposition of male students is slightly higher than female students. Meanwhile, student self-regulated learning with the help of Google Classroom obtains very high criteria. For male and female students, both have very high learning independence criteria in carrying out learning with the help of Google Classroom.Keywords: Mathematical Disposition, Self-regulated learning, Google Classroom, Online Lectures, Gender

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.

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.

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.

How students manage their time is critical for academic performance and is an important component of self-regulated learning. The purpose of the present study was to examine relationships among first-year college students’ ( N = 589) time use, academic self-regulation, and target and actual grade point average (GPA) at three time points. Findings showed that students planned and spent less time on academics than socializing and work obligations in their first semester. Students generally planned to spend more time on academics in the second semester. Academic time use (planned and actual academic hours) related to higher self-regulated learning and target GPA in the first and second semester. Students who were farther away from their first-semester target lowered their second-semester target GPA instead of planning more time in academics. Students exceeding their target first-semester GPA planned to socialize more in the second semester. Orientation and transition programs that assist students may need to revisit time management and planning midway through the year to address potentially inadequate self-regulated learning in the first year of college.

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.
