Culture, as an advanced form of social life, is internalized within each individual as an essential component of learning, socializing, and developing (Baumeister, 2011; Greenfield et al., 2003). Self-regulated learning (SRL), as demonstrated in the literature, is essential for students’ academic success, where self-regulated learners strategically and metacognitively plan, monitor, and adapt their learning processes to achieve their goals in learning (Winne & Hadwin, 1998; Winne, 1995; Zimmerman, 2002). Because SRL theories significantly emphasize the importance of social contexts, culture is likely to influence how individuals develop and gain SRL competency. Nevertheless, there is a paucity of cross-cultural studies of SRL research; thus, this study aimed to examine and compare Chinese international and Canadian domestic students’ self-reported engagement in SRL processes and their academic performance. To achieve this purpose, we adopted an emic approach by evaluating Winne and Hadwin’s (1998) model of SRL and systematically comparing it with Chinese conceptualization of learning (e.g., Confucianism). Then, we used an advanced statistical method to investigate the measurement invariance of the Regulation of Learning Questionnaire (RLQ) designed to capture SRL as dynamic processes unfolding over time for Chinese and Canadian groups. Our findings supported configural and metric invariances across Chinese and Canadian cultural groups. Based on the evidence of partial scalar invariance, we also identified single items that contributed to scalar non-invariance. This study demonstrated the significance of examining the measurement invariance across cultures, which warrants comparability in cross-cultural comparisons, and contributed greatly to the current literature on the relation between culture and SRL. / Graduate

Vocal teachers’ task is to give students a foundation for their personal practice. When the student leaves the classroom, it is their responsibility to direct their own learning. This essay examines vocal students from upper secondary school's perspective about their personal vocal practice and their practice in relation to the support and help from their vocal teachers. Five schools were contacted where a total of 120 students had access to an online survey via email, to which 56 students responded. The variables in the survey were partially analyzed and processed in the software SPSS. In this study, it was clear that students have a positive attitude towards their personal practice and generally have good practice habits. The student’s level of motivation plays a role in the number of hours that are devoted to practice and having goals with one’s practice, such as vocal lessons, are important for practice motivation, as lessons are occasions where students are assessed. The vocal teacher is important for the student's continued development but not in relation to the student’s weekly practice hours.

Self-regulated learning skills have been shown to have a positive impact on achievement in the academic setting, enabling graduates to become lifelong learners in professional settings. Although the importance of lifelong learning skills is well articulated in the accounting education literature, this study is the first to address concerns that class time devoted to developing such skills might impair students' acquisition of content knowledge. This study uses a quasi-experimental design within the context of the introductory accounting course. The treatment group received self-regulated learning interventions designed by the researcher and based on Zimmerman's model of the academic learning cycle. Results of this study were obtained using multiple regressions and suggest that students' acquisition of technical knowledge, as measured by conventional exam scores, was not compromised when class time was allocated between self-regulated learning interventions and content instruction. Although benefits of the treatment were not immediate, the treatment group outperformed the control group in terms of scores on exams administered near the end of the course. This study found no evidence of a "ceiling effect" but does provide limited support for the "Matthew effect," whereby higher ability students often reap the greatest benefit from interventions.

El objetivo de esta investigación es examinar la relación entre el aprendizaje autorregulado y la procrastinación académica en escolares de cuarto y quinto de secundaria de un colegio nacional de Chorrillos. La muestra estuvo conformada por 213 estudiantes entre las edades de 14 a 18 años, en la cual el 54% son los hombres y 46% son mujeres; el 53.5% pertenecen al turno mañana y 46.5% al turno tarde. Se aplicó la escala de procrastinación académica (Álvarez-Blas, 2010) y el cuestionario de autorregulación del aprendizaje (Matos, 2009). Dentro de los principales resultados se obtuvo que la dimensión autonomía presenta una correlación significativa negativa con procrastinación académica (rs=-.46**), por lo que se puede observar que la procrastinación tiene una mayor asociación con la regulación intrínseca que extrínseca; además, los resultados comparativos conllevan a una mayor exploración en futuras investigaciones con relación al sexo y turno de estudio de los escolares. / The objective of this research is to examine the relationship between self-regulated learning and academic procrastination in fourth and fifth grade schoolchildren in a national school in Chorrillos. The sample consisted of 213 students between the ages of 14 and 18, in which 54% are men and 46% are women, 53.5% belong to the morning shift and 46.5% to the late shift. The academic procrastination scale was applied (Álvarez-Blas, 2010) and the learning self-regulation questionnaire (Matos, 2009). Among the main results, it was obtained that the autonomy dimension of self-regulated learning has a significant negative correlation with academic procrastination (rs=-.46**), so it can be seen that procrastination has a greater association with intrinsic than extrinsic regulation; In addition, the comparative results lead to further exploration in future research regarding the sex and study time of schoolchildren. / Tesis

This study examines the correlation between self-regulated learning (SRL) and psychological well-being (PWB) in students in the online learning environment. Previous research suggests that these concepts are positively correlated, i.e. that application of SRL contributes to better PWB or vice versa. However, most studies on this relation have been performed with the traditional/in-person learning environment as context. Therefore, there is a lack of insight into how this relation might behave in the online learning environment, which is currently employed by many universities due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. Thus, in this study, SRL and PWB were measured across 6 subscales each in students at KTH in order to perform a correlation analysis between the subscales of the two concepts. The aim is to gain in-sight into the relationship between SRL and PWB, which could be useful for teachers in assisting their students’ utilization of SRL and in turn improve their PWB.  Data was gathered through an online survey which was administered to students at KTH through a course and was published on an online forum for KTH students on Facebook in the year 2021. The survey received 103 responses. The data was analyzed using Spearman rank correlation analysis, which revealed mostly statistically insignificant correlations, or statistically significant but weak correlations between the subscales within SRL and PWB. The results show an overall weaker correlation between SRL and PWB compared to the results of previous studies. The large number of insignificant correlations might indicate that the sample size was insufficient for the method and tools used. In conclusion, the results of this study did not reveal much meaningful information on the relation between SRL and PWB in students in the online learning environment. / I denna studie undersöktes korrelationen mellan självreglerat lärande (SRL) och psykologiskt välmående (PWB) i online-lärandemiljön. Tidigare forskning har visat att dessa koncept är positivt relaterade, dvs. att användning av SRL kan bidra till bättre psykologiskt välmående eller vice versa. Tidigare studier som undersöker denna relation har undersökt frågan med den traditionella lärandemiljön som kontext, där studenter och lärare träffas i person. Det finns därför en kunskapslucka gällande hur denna relation ser ut i online-lärandemiljön, som i skrivande stund används av många lärosäten på grund av den rådande Covid-19 pandemin. Därför har i denna studie PWB och SRL mätts över 6 delskalor var hos studenter på KTH för att utföra en korrelationsanalys mellan delskalorna av de två koncepten. Syftet var att få insikt i relationen mellan SRL och PWB med målet att det kan hjälpa lärare assistera deras studenter applicera SRL strategier och då bidra till bättre PWB hos studenter i online-lärandemiljön. Data samlades in med en online-enkät som delades ut till studenter på KTH genom en kurs och publicerades på ett online-forum för KTH studenter på Facebook året 2021. Enkäten fick 103 svar. Datan undersöktes med Spearmans rangkorrelationsmatris, som visade mestadels icke-signifikanta korrelationer, eller signifikanta, men svaga, korrelationer mellan delskalorna inom SRL och PWB. Resultaten av denna studie visar på svagare relation mellan SRL och PWB jämfört med resultat i tidigare studier. Det stora antalet icke signifikanta korrelationer kan tyda på att sampel-storleken var för liten för instrumenten som användes. Sammanfattningsvis så gav inte denna studie mycket betydelse-full insikt i relationen mellan SRL och PWB i online lärandemiljön.
