Some of the theories used in my paper are the SRL theory, the MSLQ, and although it's not necessarily a theory, I also use a few ideas from the Marshmallow Test to expand and compare on other topics. These concepts help me make sense of my project because they are quite renowned and frequently used in the self-regulatory researching field; making them very useful to explain certain studies or tests. The SRL (self-regulated learning) theory is a revised version of the IP (information processing) theory, which mostly took the cognitive aspect into account when evaluating self-regulation. Pintrich’s SRL theory “takes a much more inclusive perspective on student learning to include not only cognitive, but also motivational and affective factors, as well as social contextual factors (Pintrich, 2000b)” (Pintrich, 386). There are also four general assumptions that most of the SRL models share:
- active, constructive assumption
- potential for control assumption
- goal, criterion, or standard assumption
- self-regulatory activities are mediators between personal and contextual characteristics and actual achievement or performance
I go into further detail about these 4 assumptions in my paper, but this is the basis of the SRL theory; which is most likely going to be the my most used and important source.
