The effect of self-regulation on student achievement was examined in this meta-analysis study. A total of 1131 research studies were collected during the literature review, out of which 192 were included in the meta-analysis . The 192 research studies which resulted in 346 correlation coefficient s were compiled to obtain a sample size of 215,452 subjects. The results of the random effect model showed that self-regulation has a low - level positive effect on student achievement. The moderators identified for the study were the type of publication , sample group , school subject or assessment type, country and the year of the studies, of which type of publication, sample group , country and year of publication were found to be moderator variables .

Online learning is a form of distance education that occurs via the Internet (Adams, 2004; Carliner, 1999). The success of online learning depends on student-related factors such as acceptance, willingness, and motivation (Almaiah et al., 2019; Almaiah et al., 2020). When online learning systems are not utilized, students cannot realize the concomitant benefit of improved performance. Online learning has many positives, but it does present a problem when it comes to academic success. Motivation and self-regulation are two of the key factors for successful online learning given that students are subject to minimal supervision or guidance from teachers in an online environment. Lack of motivation and low levels of self-regulation can decrease students’ academic outcomes. It is, therefore, important to understand to what extent self-regulation and motivation impact academic success in an online learning environment, to better develop strategies to improve motivation, enhance self-regulation, and address the shortcomings they present to online learning. The focus of this study is the relationship between students’ self-regulation, academic motivation, and academic achievement in an online learning environment (Alafghani & Purwandari, 2019; Bandura, 1991; Panadero, 2017; Yusuf, 2011).
A non-experimental quantitative research design was used to investigate the relationship between self-regulation, academic motivation, and academic achievement of undergraduate students in an online learning environment. QuestionPro hosted the survey. The data were collected using self-report questionnaires, and the sample population consisted of 300 undergraduate students taking online courses in the United States. The Online Self-Regulated Learning Questionnaire (OSLQ) and Academic Motivation Scale (AMS) were used to measure self-regulation and academic motivation, respectively. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the data, and Multigroup Structural Equation Modeling (MSEM) was used to understand gender differences between the variables. To achieve a valid interpretation of data, the data was collected, screened, and analyzed using SPSS and AMOS software.
In the current study, 41% of participants were seniors, 60% were taking four or fewer online courses, and 68% had a GPA above 3.0. Results of this study indicated that the self-regulation of undergraduate students in an online learning environment were at moderate levels. The subscale reported a high level of help-seeking and environment structuring. Task strategies, time management, goal setting, and self-evaluations were at a moderate level. Academic motivation, intrinsic motivation, and extrinsic motivation scales and subscales were at moderate levels. However, extrinsic motivation identified (ExMD) reported a high level. Amotivation was at the lowest level of academic motivation. There was no correlation between self-regulation and academic motivation in the academic achievement of undergraduate students in an online learning environment. However, self-regulation and academic motivation showed a positive and statistically significant correlation and the final model accounted for approximately 3% of the variance of academic achievement. The analysis revealed no gender differences between male and female undergraduate students in an online learning environment regarding their self-regulation, academic motivation, and academic achievement.
Conclusions
The findings support the current research and forms the basis for future research studies of students’ academic motivation, self-regulation, and academic performance in the online environment. Future research should conduct longitudinal studies to track students’ self-regulation skills, motivation, and academic achievement in an online learning environment to better understand their development and impact on academic outcomes. Such research should also investigate the role of individual differences, such as personality traits and prior academic achievement, in the relationship between self-regulation, academic motivation, and academic achievement in online learning environments.

Self-regulation is the process of monitoring and controlling aspects of the internal environment (e.g., motivation) and external environment (e.g., physical environment) in the service of a goal (Oettingen & Gollwitzer, 2015).
impact of self-regulation on insecure attachments and children’s social competence could provide practitioners working with children and their families a basis to improve children’s social competence, ultimately leading to enhanced future success for children.
Key issues in teacher development such as the transfer of learning are addressed through a professional development model, designed by the student investigator, with the aim of improving self-regulated learning outcomes for students and teachers alike.
This dissertation, “Investigating Self-Regulation in Secondary and Higher Education Online Contexts,” is written in a 3-article, hybrid format and contains elements of a traditional dissertation but focuses on three articles written for publication.
This study will explore SRL strategies employed by higher education (HE) students from B&H in online environments and further inspect the impact that these strategies have on academic performance and satisfaction with online resources of the given population.
There are a number of theories and models of self-regulation. Zimmerman (2000) proposed a social cognitive perspective of self-regulation and maintained that self-regulation is a dynamic, triadic process that includes interactions involving the individual, the behavior, and the environment.
