It can be stated that self-regulated learning (SRL) brings broad benefits to the process of students' learning and studying. However, research has yet to be undertaken in relation to one of its components, namely self-regulation of motivation and affectivity. The main objectives of this study are to examine the use of self-motivation strategies tha...
Abstract. The benefits of self-regulated learning have been confirmed. However, research is still pending on motivational self-regulation. We studied the use of attainment value and cost strategies in a study sample of 821 secondary education students. Our results showed that the students made considerable use of both strategies, that these strateg...
Este estudio tuvo como objetivo investigar las relaciones entre la facilidad con que los estudiantes de ciencias de secundaria detectan sus errores, su precisión en la autoevaluación y las variables motivacionales y cognitivas implicadas en el proceso de autorregulación. Tanto en la variable de detección de errores como la de autoevaluación se estu...
The objective of this research was to study the role of error detection and retroactive self-regulation as determinants of performance in secondary education students. A total of 198 students participated in this quasi-experimental study, which involved a control group and two experimental groups. This enabled us to analyse the effects of both erro...
The aim of this study was to determine the extent to which error detection contributes to the explanation of a cognitive and motivational model of student performance in an assessment test. A total of 151 science students of secondary education participated in the investigation. Two causal models were developed using a structural equation analysis....
