Self-Regulated Learning Among College Students: Unraveling Gender And Locality Differences
Main Article Content
Abstract
Self-regulated learning (SRL) is the process through which individuals actively take control of their own learning. This research study, carried out in Kashmir division of UT of Jammu and Kashmir-India, highlights notable variations in self-regulated learning (SRL) among college students. Self-regulated learning was assessed by administering Self-regulated learning scale constructed by Gupta and Mehtani (2017). It was found that majority of students possess average levels of SRL. The results imply that, on the whole, female students outperform male students in SRL (composite score). Furthermore, insignificant differences between rural and urban students on Self-regulated learning were reported. The study contributes to fostering inclusive, effective and culturally sensitive educational practices that benefit a wide range of students. Incorporating motivational programs, activities, and self-regulated learning instructional strategies into the curriculum is essential for fostering self-regulated learning in students.
