Description
Summary:<p>Self-regulated learning is an active learning process including strategy use, meta meta- cognition, and motivation. Self Self-regulation failure is the core problem of academic</p><p>procrastination, which seriously threatens academic success. This research aims to</p><p>study t he direct effects of self self-regulated strategies on academic procrastination and</p><p>academic success among undergraduate students. It also investigated the mediation</p><p>effect of academic procrastination on meta meta-cognitive strategies, time management,</p><p>effort regula tion, and students academic success. A fully quantitative study was</p><p>conducted, and a questionnaire survey which includes Tuckman Procrastination Scale,</p><p>the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire, and the School Connectedness</p><p>Scale was conducted a mong 239 university students who learn English as a foreign</p><p>language. To explore the direct effects and indirect effects of time management, effort</p><p>regulation, meta meta-cognitive self self-regulation, academic procrastination, and academic</p><p>success, AMOS structural equation mode modeling was adopted to analyze the data, and 10</p><p>hypotheses were tested. The results showed that there exists a significant positive</p><p>relationship between meta meta-cognitive strategies and academic success. Learning</p><p>strategies like effort regulation, m etaeta-cognitive strategies, and time management are</p><p>associated with academic procrastination negatively, and academic procrastination is</p><p>related to academic success negatively. Time management and effort regulation do not</p><p>relate to academic success. The medi ation effects showed that Effort regulation and</p><p>time management have a significant posit ive indirect effect on student students academic</p><p>success by mediating academic procrastination, and academic procrastination does not</p><p>mediate the relationship between meta meta-cog nitive strategies and students academic</p><p>success. The application of effective self self-regulated strategies and the reduction of</p><p>academic procrastination can pr omote academic success among university EFL</p><p>students. The implications of this study can help educa tors or teachers to instruct</p><p>students to apply self self-regulated learning strategies and models to English learning</p><p>properly. For English learners, the better strategies they use, the less academic</p><p>procrastination, and the better academic success they achieve achieved.</p>
