Abstract
Learning is about one’s relationship with one’s self and one’s ability to exert the effort, self-control, and critical self-assessment necessary to achieve the best results. Learning also requires overcoming risk aversion, failure, distractions, anxiety, and sheer laziness in the pursuit of real achievement. This is self-regulated learning. (Nilson, 2013). The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of a self-regulation intervention on math students. Students in a high school math class received self-regulation interventions for six weeks. The intervention involved students assessing their own understanding of practice problems. Students who chose to participate in the study took a self-regulation survey before and after the intervention to determine the effects of the interventions on the students. Only students whose legal guardian gave informed consent participated in the study.
