How Do Elementary School Students Use SRL?

Abstract

—One of the elementary school graduate competencies is the metacognitive skill. Meta cognitive skills have something to do with the extent to which one can identify his/her own strengths and weaknesses, which are associated with the so called self-regulated learning (SRL). This research aims to determine the factors of SRL among fifth-graders. This is ex post facto research employing a quantitative approach. It used questionnaires as the research instrument, the result of which was then analyzed using the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Findings of the research suggest that motivation, self-efficacy, and goal orientation are factors that affect SRL.
