Student's readiness on self-regulated learning implementation for 21st century learning approaches

Abstract

Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) is one of the learning strategies in Student-Centred Learning (SCL). Although the theoretical success stories of SRL have been well documented, there are few stories from actual practice and implementation of SRL, especially in technical and vocational education. Hence, this paper investigates postgraduate students' readiness for the implementation of SRL. The results of the investigation are encouraging; students appear ready for the implementation of SRL for specific subjects and levels. This is a good indicator for educators to improve teaching and learning, steering it away from a teacher-centred to a student-centered orientation. Hence, in the future, students will become student-centred learners and apply SRL in the learning process to increase the quality of their academic achievement and vocational qualification. © 2017 Universiti Putra Malaysia Press.
