Slovenian Validation of the Children’s Perceived Use of Self-Regulated Learning Inventory

Abstract

The importance of self-regulated learning (SRL) has increased during the COVID-19 pandemic and measures for assessing students’ self-regulation skills and knowledge are greatly needed. We present the results of the first thorough adaptation of the Children’s Perceived use of Self-Regulated Learning Inventory (CP-SRLI). The inventory, consisting of 15 scales measuring nine components of SRL, was administered to a sample of 541 Slovenian ninth graders. Confirmatory factor analyses supported internal structure validity of most components, but two components required some structural modifications. Internal consistency coefficients were acceptable for the majority of scale scores and were highly comparable to the original ones. While metric invariance across gender was confirmed, the scalar invariance of some scales needs further examination. Meaningful correlations with relevant externally assessed and self-reported self-regulation and school performance variables indicated good criterion validity of the inventory. The Slovenian version of the CP-SRLI thus proved to be a sufficiently valid and reliable instrument for assessing pupils’ learning self-regulation.

Development and validation of a self‐regulated learning teaching scale for preschool teachers

“…The framework can aid educators in adapting their SRL instruction to the specific classroom environment (Randi, 2004). In this framework, teachers are SRL mediators who link children's SRL competence and teachers' SRL instructional strategies (Komidar et al., 2022; Muis, 2007). The present study has confirmed that Zimmerman's process model offers a good explanation of the stages of teachers' teaching practice; the study also fills up a gap in the literature in ECE contexts on teachers' SRL teaching practice with a newly developed scale.…”

“…Owing to the complexity of SRL structure, the definitions supplied by various theoretical frameworks demonstrate diversity (Komidar et al., 2022). Nonetheless, the majority of SRL models hold that SRL can be characterized as a process of cyclical acts.…”
