Diferencias diagnósticas en función del género respecto a la utilización de estrategias autorreguladoras en estudiantes universitarios

Abstract

The construct of Self-regulated Learning has been conceptualized as the process through which the activities directed by goals are instigated and sustained so that learning is conscious, deliberate and expert, which must constitute one of the main objectives that every educative system should develop in their students. In this work, we intend to determine, first, if there exist significative differences in reported self-regulation of learning among university students with regard to the gender. Second, prove which are the motivational variables that predict better an optimal level of self-regulated learning with respect to the gender differences. The results show, fi rst, that the woman displayed signifi cantly higher self-regulated learning. And second, a different contribution of the studied motivational variables with respect to students´ gender.
