Which aspect is considered under self-regulation as a learning skill?

Following others’ lead
Setting personal goals and monitoring progress
Focusing solely on grades
Disregarding feedback from teachers

The correct answer is: Setting personal goals and monitoring progress

Setting personal goals and monitoring progress is a crucial aspect of self-regulation as a learning skill. This process involves students taking ownership of their learning by defining what success looks like for them and then actively tracking their performance towards those goals. When students set specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals, they can create a roadmap for their learning journey. Monitoring progress allows them to assess their strengths and weaknesses, make necessary adjustments, and celebrate their achievements. This practice fosters a sense of responsibility and motivates students to engage more deeply with their education, leading to better outcomes and a deeper understanding of the material. In contrast, following others’ lead does not encourage independent thought or personal accountability, focusing solely on grades can diminish the value of the learning experience itself, and disregarding feedback from teachers can hinder growth and improvement. These alternatives do not promote the proactive and reflective processes that are central to effective self-regulation in learning.
