Abstract
Students who enter nursing programs without adequate study skills may be shocked when they fail their first nursing examination or assignment. If they continue to struggle, they may fail to progress to graduation or may perform poorly on their licensure examinations. Assignments based on self-regulated learning theory can help students develop control over their learning environment, establish effective study strategies, set goals, and prevent procrastination. Two assignments for students studying for a baccalaureate of science in nursing are presented as examples of activities that promote self-regulated behaviors: (1) Research Literature Search Assignment Strategies worksheet and (2) student-led examination reviews to prepare for an examination. Students' reactions to assignments are described. Integration of the principles of self-regulated learning can add value to active learning. Faculty with an understanding of self-regulated learning theory are better able to recognize student deficiencies and design assignments to help students succeed. [J Nurs Educ. 2024;63(X):XXX-XXX.].
