Abstract

Background: Self-determination theory (SDT) notes that internal drive for success promotes achievement of goals. Self-regulated learning (SRL) approaches may be an effective strategy for student success. With nursing education's emphasis on competency, it is important for students to be directly involved in learning choices.

Method: An SRL-inspired points-based grading approach was implemented in a clinical review course. A postcourse survey included items from autonomy and competence subscales of the Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction and Frustration Scale grounded in SDT.

Results: Seventy-seven students enrolled in the course completed a mean of 2.3 to 3.1 weekly assignments, earning an average of 102 to 112 points. Student attendance ranged from 51% to 95%. Mean class score on a standardized licensure-readiness assessment was 4 points higher than the previous class. Postcourse survey results included satisfaction with autonomy, competence, and agreement that the class format supported their learning.

Conclusion: SRL approaches can assist faculty who are looking to enhance student engagement. [J Nurs Educ. 2025;64(X):XXX-XXX.].

背景：自我决定理论（SDT）指出，成功的内驱力会促进目标的实现。自我调节学习（SRL）方法可能是学生取得成功的有效策略。护理教育强调能力，因此让学生直接参与学习选择非常重要：方法：在临床复习课程中实施了受 SRL 启发的基于分数的评分方法。课后调查包括以 SDT 为基础的基本心理需求满足和挫折量表中的自主性和能力分量表的项目：结果：有 77 名学生参加了该课程，平均每周完成 2.3 至 3.1 次作业，平均获得 102 至 112 分。学生出勤率从 51% 到 95% 不等。班级在标准化执照准备评估中的平均得分比上一届高出 4 分。课后调查结果显示，学生对自主性和能力表示满意，并认为课堂形式有助于他们的学习：结论：SRL 方法可以帮助教师提高学生的参与度。[J Nurs Educ. 2025;64(X):XXX-XXX.].
