- Title
Exploring the Source of Self-Regulated Learning: The Influence of Internal and External Comparisons.

- Abstract
This study explored the ways in which students become self-regulated learners. High school students (N = 297) were self-administered ACT practice examinations and Bandura's self-regulated learning subscale (from his Multidimensional Scales of Perceived Self-Efficacy) with specific reference to English and mathematics. Path analytic results suggested that these students depended primarily on external comparisons rather than on internal comparisons in determining their self-regulated learning perceptions, a pattern consistent for both female and male students. The strong association between the English and mathematics self-regulated learning components may also provide some insight into the structure of self-regulation among college-bound students in academic settings.
