Self-regulation is a proactive, self-directed process for attaining goals, learning skills, and accomplishing tasks.
The first section shows your students' self-rated behaviors on the four components of self-regulation:
1. Planning
2. Monitoring
3. Adjusting
4. Reflecting
The graph provides average ratings for all items within a component, and the table displays the number of students that selected each rating for individual items. Some items, such as "I keep making the same mistakes over and over again," are reverse scored. Selecting a rating of '1 - not very like me' means that students are demonstrating the ability to learn from mistakes, whereas if they selected a rating of '5 - very like me' they currently may need to focus on the reflection component of self-regulation.
