VALENCIA SERRANO, Marcela; DUARTE SOTO, Jonathan e CAICEDO TAMAYO, Adriana María. Self-Regulated Learning, Academic Goals and Performance in the Evaluation of University Students. Pensam. psicol. [online]. 2013, vol.11, n.2, pp.53-70. ISSN 1657-8961.
Objective. The purpose of this study was to describe eight students' self-regulation profiles during test preparation in relation to academic goals and test performance. Method. Data was collected through a semi-structured interview, the direct observation of a study session, and verbal protocols during and after the session. Results. Regarding the academic goals, the study found that three students had mastery goal orientation, while five students presented multiple goal orientation. With regard to self-regulated learning, it was possible to observe students with low levels of self-regulation, students with high levels of self-regulation and students with variations in their performance during the study session. Finally, in the relationship between self-regulated learning, goal orientation and test performance, three groups were found: (a) a group of students with high levels of self-regulation during the study session and mastery goal orientation; (b) a second group of students with low levels of self-regulation and multiple academic goal orientation in approach and avoidance trends, and (c) a third group of students who showed variations in their level of self-regulation and multiple academic goal orientation. Students of the three groups obtained passing grades in the evaluation regardless of their level of self-regulation and academic goal orientation. Conclusion. The procedural approach to self-regulated learning and academic goals permitted the acquisition of relevant information for advancing the understanding of these variables, and it is therefore recommended to continue with this type of study to explore students' performance in real time and its variations.
