Abstract
MONGE-LOPEZ, David; BONILLA, Roger and AGUILAR-FREYAN, Wendy. The Self-Regulation Strategy Inventory: Spanish Translation, Preliminary Psychometric Characteristics and its Relation to Sociodemographic Variables in Sample of University Students. Av. Psicol. Latinoam. [online]. 2017, vol.35, n.1, pp.61-78. ISSN 1794-4724. https://doi.org/10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/apl/a.3729.
This research presents the translation into Spanish of the Self-Regulation Strategy Inventory. The self-regulated learning construct is important as a potential predictor of academic achievement. In this work, university students assessed their self-regulated learning in a general sense and these assessments were evaluated in order to establish a baseline regarding their own perception of the process. After the test instrument was applied to a sample of 282 students, an exploratory factorial analysis demonstrated three dimensions, all of which were also found in previous research. The measurement is highly reliable; both the dimensions of the instrument and the general measurement of self-regulated learning correlate with an independent measure of self-regulation. As an exploratory exercise, the measurement of self-regulated learning was related to a series of sociodemographic variables. Associations were found between different dimensions of self-regulated learning and students' sex and type of family structure. The quality of the instrument indicates that it can be used for research on this topic. The results with respect to sex and family structure should be replicated in other studies with similar samples and methods
