Multiple regression analysis of epistemological beliefs, learning approaches, and self-regulated learning

Abstract

Introduction. Recent research in educational psychology has explored student approaches to

Validation Study of the Scale for Assessment of the Teaching-Learning Process, Student Version (ATLP-S)

“…Other prior studies have shown similar relationships between learning approaches and self-regulation (Phan, 2008) and between the teachinglearning process and self-regulation (De la Fuente, Justicia, & Berben, 2005). Phan (2008) performed a regression analysis and concluded that deep motivation predicted self-regulated learning in 603 university students in the South Pacific. Similarly, De la Fuente et al (2005) showed that self-regulation has a positive correlation with the deep approach and a negative correlation with the surface approach in 492 university students in Almería and Granada (Spain).…”

Personal Self-Regulation, Learning Approaches, Resilience and Test Anxiety in Psychology Students

“…The evidence to date reveals the value of personal self-regulation in accounting for how stress is dealt with while learning (De la Fuente & CardelleElawar, 2011), and in predicting self-regulated learning (Phan, 2006(Phan, , 2008 and performance . The cumulative evidence appears to present us with an essential, personal macro-construct, having a meta-motivational and meta-affective nature (Bandura, 1997).…”

Exploring epistemological beliefs and learning approaches in context: A sociocultural perspective

“…Empirical evidence in the context of the Pacific region, at present, suggests there is credence to further research investigation into the relations between epistemological beliefs and approaches to learning. Extant research studies by Mugler, Phan, and their colleagues (Mugler & Landbeck, 1997;Phan & Deo, 2007, In press;Richardson et al, 1995) in learning approaches, and the work of Phan (2006Phan ( , 2008aPhan ( , 2008b in personal epistemology have advocated the importance of one's sociohistorical milieu. The theoretical contention, arising from a number of reasons, underlies the belief that personal epistemology and learning approaches are deeply embedded in the sociocultural and family environments of individuals.…”

“…First, the issue pertaining to the social and cultural origins of epistemological beliefs has been raised by a number of researchers. The work of Mugler, Richardson, Phan and their colleagues (Mugler & Landbeck, 1997;Phan, 2008aPhan, , 2008b involving Pacific Islands and Indo-Fijian students has placed an important emphasis on the social environment and one's socio-historical background. This theoretical contention warrants the need to situate students' epistemological beliefs and their learning approaches in a sociocultural framework.…”
