Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Neber, Heinz; He, Jing; Liu, Bang-Xiang; Schofield, Neville – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2008
The present study investigates whether Chinese high-school students are self-regulated learners. A social-cognitive model that distinguishes environmental, motivational, and cognitive components of this active approach to learning is described. This provides an appropriate framework for investigating this complex issue with eighth and tenth…
