Miller, Dionne. "Two-Year Community: Learning How Students Learn: An Exploration of Self- Regulation Strategies in a Two-Year College General Chemistry Class." Journal of College Science Teaching J. Coll. Sci. Teach. 044.03 (2015): 11-16. Web.
Author: Dionne A. Miller is an assistant professor of chemistry in the Natural Sciences Department of LaGuardia Community College. She received her PhD in Physical Chemistry from the CUNY Graduate School and University Center in 2008. She is very knowledgeable in thew researching field and was previously a college professor so I feel as though she is qualified for this work.
Key terms:
1. Self-regulation - the ability to manage disruptive emotions and impulses, and to think before you react.
2. Educational evaluation - the evaluation process of characterizing and appraising some aspect/s of an educational process.
Quotes:
1. "A self-regulated learner is able to monitor his or her learning and identify and implement strategies to bring it up to the predetermined standard of the course, and therefore self-regulation has an important role in learning even if this role is not explicit to the student (Boud, 1995)."
2. "Boud (1995), Zimmerman (2002), and Schraw et al. (2006) agreed that self-regulation enables students to become effective and responsible learners who can continue their education as “lifelong learners” without the intervention of teachers."
3. "Students who are self-regulated report much higher levels of academic satisfaction and are more likely to persist in the face of significant challenges (Bandura, 1997; Zimmerman, 2002). Self-regulation is thus highly desirable in our students, especially those in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) courses and majors where these courses stress understanding, application, and synthesis of the fundamental disciplinary concepts rather than simple memorization (Glynn & Muth, 1994; Zoller, 2000)."

Value:
This material helps me explore my research question because it gives me some insight into how performance is related to self-regulation. It seems as though performance is indeed positively correlated with self-regulation, and this supports my potential argument that the more self-regulated someone is, the more they will see their performance in academics increasing.
Looks like a great source.
