Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to explore self-regulated learning strategies (SRLS) and the relationship between SRLS and academic achievement of junior high school students with learning disabilities (LD). One hundred fifty-three male and seventy-five female LD students in Kaohsiung City were recruited in this study. Data were collected from the questionnaire and in-depth interview. Descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, multiple regression techniques were conducted to analyze the quantitative data obtained. In addition, an inductive content analysis was conducted to analyze the interview result. The main findings were as follows: 1. “Goal-efficacy strategy” was the most common used of all participants; while SRLS “meta-monitoring and value-affection strategies” was the least used. 2. Female LD students applied “goal-efficacy strategy” and “strategy-usage strategy” significantly more often than their male counterparts. 3. LD students with higher academic achievement used SRLS significantly more often than LD students with lower academic achievement. 4. There were a significant positive correlation between SRLS and academic achievement. “Strategy-usage” in particular was the most significant predictor for LD students’ academic performance. 5. The result of students’ and teachers’ interviews supported the quantitative result. Several explanations were found relating self-regulated learning strategies to LD students’ academic performances. Based on these results, some suggestions were made for facilitating the LD education and future research. |
