Association between self-regulation of learning, student attitude, provenance and age in engineering students

Abstract

The relationship between the self-regulated learning inventory (SRLI) and the factors student attitude, collegiate origin and age in 960 students of engineering programs in universities of the city of Cartagena between the years 2014 and 2016 were analyzed; Through the χ2 independence test. Initially the instrument was validated; The self-regulation for learning and the independent variables were analyzed: age, attitude and collegial origin, and finally a mosaic chart was drawn between SRLI and variables with which a significant relationship was obtained.The results indicate that the instrument is valid according to the Alpha values of Cronbach and that there is an important association between SRLI and the variables attitude and student origin; Showing that students with a high student attitude and coming from public schools, are those who generally have very good self-regulation of learning. 666Waldyr Fong-Silva et al.

Association between self-regulation of learning, motivation, teaching quality and sports dedication in engineering students

“…Likewise, this correspondence could also be verified since those students who selfregulate their learning process, continuously monitor their achievement of goals and objectives and reflect on the goals they achieve according to the statements of Kim et al (2017) [12]. Likewise, this association shows that the metacognitive processes developed by engineering students with academic success allows them to differentiate themselves from those who do not have it in the great self-regulation that they develop [1].…”

“…To estimate the size of the sample when it comes to a finite population of less than 100,000 individuals is calculated according to Fong et al (2017) [1] by equation 1 Self-regulation of learning was assessed using the SRLI (Self-Regulation of Learning Inventory) which is a questionnaire designed by Lindner et al (1993) [10] consisting of 80 weighted questions from 1 to 5 based on the Likert scale.…”

“…The instrument was validated as reported by Reinhard and Bruce (1998) [11]. To determine the reliability of the test the internal consistency was determined using the Cronbach Alpha [1] according to equation (2):…”

“…Learning is increasingly understood as an activity that students perform on their 892 E.J. Lopez-Ponton et al own, proactively, and not as something that happens reactively and as a response to learning situations [1]. Students who self-regulate their learning are proactive in their efforts to learn, as they are aware of their abilities and limitations and, furthermore, their study behavior is guided by goals and strategies that help them reach them [2].…”

“…In the same sense, in terms of self-regulation, it will be the teacher who acts in the first order as the facilitator of the strategies and subsequently as a motivator for the adoption of the same by the student [1]. Likewise, the teacher should analyze in detail the timing and the techniques to publicize, promote and apply metacognitive and self-regulation techniques or strategies in their students [5].…”
