Abstract

The article presents the results of an empirical study of the role of conscious self-regulation as a significant resource for the successful completion of final exams by Russian students. As a methodological approach to the study of self-regulation of educational activity used the concept of V. I. Morosanova. Methods: «Self-Regulation Profile of Learning Activity Questionnaire» — SRPLAQ (2015); Spilberger’s «Test Anxiety Inventory» — TAI, Russian adaptation, 2004; Eysenck personality inventory, Russian adaptation, 2000. The study also took into account the students’ results of the Unified State Exam in mathematics on a sample of students in eleventh grade (N = 231). The reliability of student actions was calculated. The results of structural modeling are analyzed, during which an empirical model of regulatory and personality predictors of the success and reliability of students’ exam outcomes in mathematics is tested. By the obtained model, the reliability of exam results is primarily associated with the reliability of self-regulation, and the test anxiety of students. At the same time, a successful exam result is determined by the general level of conscious self-regulation of learning activity and a low level of test anxiety. Extraversion affects success and reliability indirectly — through self-regulation and anxiety. The hypotheses are confirmed that conscious self-regulation acts as a system-forming factor in the system of significant non-cognitive predictors of success and reliability of students in examination testing situations. Regulatory characteristics make it possible to compensate and overcome some limitations of personal temperamental characteristics and mediate the impact of test anxiety on exam results.
