Abstract

This research aims to adapt the Children’s Perceived Use of Self-Regulated Learning Inventory developed by Vandevelde. The inventory was developed to understand children’s self-regulated learning. The sampling in this research included 500 children who are attending primary school at İstanbul in Turkey. First of all, the inventory was translated into Turkish. After the data collection, to understand the factor structure of the data exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were utilised. Statistical package for social science (SPSS) 22 and Lisrel 8.80 was used to analyse the data. Throughout the exploratory factor analysis, the items of the scale were reduced to 32 items and 3 factor. Confirmatory factor analysis also showed that the structure of the scale was valid. Cronbach alpha coefficient for the total score of the scale was calculated as 0.972. Test re-test reliability was also calculated as 0.999. This study showed that the inventory adapted into Turkish can be considered as valid and reliable.

... Students who practice self-regulated learning possess autonomy, competence, and self-efficacy, enabling them to believe that the goals they pursue are worthwhile (Peck et al., 2018). Children who exhibit self-regulation in learning are actively engaged in the learning process, allowing them to adapt to various environments and control the thoughts related to their learning (Muhammet et al., 2018;Hutchinson et al., 2021). When children have autonomy over their learning, they are more likely to manage their learning strategies effectively and find the learning experience itself more engaging (Chu et al., 2020). ...
... All pre-service teachers who participated in the study have revealed the idea that flower planting and care activities are necessary apart from educational events. It is very important to diversify the class activities according to the students (Doğan & Şahin-Taşkın, 2018). When the pre-service teachers ' views on this issue were examined, it has been seen that this activity would be beneficial for primary school students to be involved in nature, to be responsible, to gain awareness of nature and have love for nature. ...
... When the research results are investigated, the interdisciplinary teaching approach is adopted by the students, and the results show that their interest and motivation levels are kept at a very high level. As a matter of fact, Guthrie, Wigfield & VonSecker (2000) and Doğan & Şahin-Taşkın (2018) also stated that the motivation of students studying in an interdisciplinary approach is higher than those who study in a traditional environment. In his study, Guercio (2003) stated that motivation of students increased by 50% compared to the old one when interdisciplinary approach was applied. ...

The aim of the study is to investigate the errors that first grade students have made in their writing of verticalnumbers which have just been applied by removing cursive writing. Considering the aim of the study, verticalnumber writing styles of the first-grade students in primary school were analyzed. The sample of the study consistsof 116 students who are studying in the first grade of primary school. The study was defined as a case study. A datacollection tool was developed for determining the mistakes that students made while writing the vertical numbers inline with the aim of the research. Through the data collection tool, all numbers from 0 to 9 are given as writtenstatements and it is required to write the numbers in the spaces left under them. The results obtained from theanalysis of the data include the existing types of errors that are relevant to the number writing in the students after thefirst literacy teaching processes. According to the results of the research, writing the numbers oblique,vertical-horizontal-diagonal straight lines are drawn in a curvilinear style, curvilinear and circular lines are distorted,numbers are not aligned in the direction of writing, and some numbers are written in reverse have been seen as themost common errors. In accordance with the types of errors identified in the research, it is thought that the emphasison dictation studies to increase the awareness of students will decrease these types of errors and their frequency. It isalso stated that it is important to diversify the related studies as much as possible, taking into consideration theindividual differences of the students.

Publisher Summary There is considerable agreement about the importance of self-regulation to human survival. There is disagreement about how it can be analyzed and defined in a scientifically useful way. A social cognitive perspective differs markedly from theoretical traditions that seek to define self-regulation as a singular internal state, trait, or stage that is genetically endowed or personally discovered. Instead, it is defined in terms of context-specific processes that are used cyclically to achieve personal goals. These processes entail more than metacognitive knowledge and skill; they also include affective and behavioral processes, and a resilient sense of self-efficacy to control them. The cyclical interdependence of these processes, reactions, and beliefs is described in terms of three sequential phases: forethought, performance or volitional control, and self-reflection. An important feature of this cyclical model is that it can explain dysfunctions in self-regulation, as well as exemplary achievements. Dysfunctions occur because of the unfortunate reliance on reactive methods of self-regulation instead of proactive methods, which can profoundly change the course of cyclical learning and performance. An essential issue confronting all theories of self-regulation is how this capability or capacity can be developed or optimized. Social cognitive views place particular emphasis on the role of socializing agents in the development of self-regulation, such as parents, teachers, coaches, and peers. At an early age, children become aware of the value of social modeling experiences, and they rely heavily on them when acquiring needed skills.
