Abstract

Self-regulated learning is the ability of the student to carry out the learning process in order to be successful. The aim of the study is to determine the self-regulated learning skills of primary school students. In this study, descriptive survey model, which is one of the quantitative research design methods, was preferred. Descriptive survey model aims to describe the variables without any intervention to them. The study was carried out with the participation of elementary school students who attended a summer school, determined by the appropriate sampling method. A total of 71 primary school students participated in the study. Data were collected from students with the help of personal information forms and Self-Regulatory Learning-7 Scale. As classes progress, students are expected to acquire higher levels of self-regulated learning skills, as they spend more time in education. However, as a result of the analysis of students' Self-Regulatory Learning-7 Scale scores, it was determined that the differences between students in terms of class and gender were not significant
