The Development of Measures of Self–Regulative Knowledge and its Relationship to Self–Regulated Learning: A Preliminary Study

Abstract

Kajian ini menghasilkan sebuah instrumen untuk mengukur pengetahuan tentang strategi pembelajaran aturan kendiri. Ia juga mengkaji hubungan antara pengetahuan tersebut dengan pembelajaran aturan kendiri. Sampel kajian terdiri daripada 322 pelajar dari dua buah sekolah menengah. Pengetahuan pelajar tentang strategi pembelajaran diukur dengan Self–Regulative Knowledge Scale yang dihasilkan dalam kajian ini. Pembelajaran aturan kendiri pula diukur dengan Learning Strategies Subscale (Pintrich, et al., 1991). Skala yang dihasilkan didapati sahih dan boleh dipercayai. Selain itu, dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa pengetahuan pelajar tentang strategi pembelajaran aturan kendiri mempunyai hubungan yang positif dan signifikan dengan pembelajaran aturan kendiri mereka. Kata kunci: Pengetahuan aturan kendiri; alat ukur; pembelajaran aturan kendiri; strategi–strategi pembelajaran; aturan kendiri This study produced an instrument to gauge self–regulative knowledge. It also looked into the relationships between such knowledge and self–regulated learning. The sample consisted of 322 students from two secondary schools. Self–regulative knowledge was measured by the Self–Regulative Knowledge Scale, developed in this study. Self–regulated learning, on the other hand, was measured by the Learning Strategies Subscale (Pintrich, et al., 1991). The newly developed instrument was found to be valid and reliable. In addition, the results showed that students’ self–regulative knowledge was positively and significantly related to their self–regulated learning. Key words: Self–regulative knowledge; scale; self–regulated learning; learning strategies; self–regulation.
