Abstract

<p style="text-align: justify;">Within the context of Self-Regulated Learning (SRL), a process of directing oneself to facilitate individual learning more effectively, the SRL instrument development is deemed necessary to measure students’ self-reliance in learning mathematics in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) framework. The research aims to develop and test the validity and reliability of an SRL instrument, namely a 14-item SRL questionnaire accommodating four aspects, namely planning, self-monitoring, self-controlling, and evaluation. The study involved 420 junior high school students in East Java, Central Java, and Yogyakarta Special Region. The results show that the questionnaire was developed as planned and that planning, monitoring, controlling, and evaluating aspects can reflect the SRL variable in a valid, reliable, and significant way supported by each aspect's behavior indicator. The SRL variable theoretical model corresponds (good fit) with the empirical data, and all of the items are likely valid and reliable to assess student's mathematics SRL in the STEM framework. The SRL questionnaire was also found suitable for use by teachers to measure junior high school students’ self-reliance in SRL.</p>

Highlights

  • It is widely accepted that learning must be able to prepare students to face the times and that effective learning requires much support from many parties, especially teacher's innovation and student's awareness

  • The variable used in this research was the self-regulated learning (SRL) variable consisted of 4 constructs, i.e., planning, monitoring, controlling, and evaluating

  • The confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) test was conducted on the data derived from 420 analysis using LISREL version 8.50

Summary

Introduction

It is widely accepted that learning must be able to prepare students to face the times and that effective learning requires much support from many parties, especially teacher's innovation and student's awareness. Some students’ awareness components beneficial for successful learning are perhaps self-regulated learning (SRL), self-efficacy, motivation, and so forth. Some may find SRL positively connected with the execution and ability level in various realms, like game, music, and scholarly accomplishment (Retnawati, 2016b). Students with excellent self-regulation are considered as individuals who are proactive in completing their assignments. It means that they take individual responsibility, diligence, and versatile ability due to a positive metacognitive strategy and inspirational belief (Schunk & Zimmerman, 2007). The self-regulated process does not instantly produce high-level skills but helps people gain knowledge and skill more effectively (Butler, 2002)
