Autorregulación y trabajo autónomo del estudiante en una actividad de aprendizaje basada en las TIC

This work analyses a self-regulation strategies in autonomous task in an ICT-based learning activity. Participants were 53 psychology undergraduates at the Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona who made a practice in Attention and Perception Psychology. The aims, contents, materials and assessment of the practice were implemented in a virtual environment. We applied several questionnaires in order to identify the students’ self-assessments about their selfregulatory activity and participation level. The results showed that cognitive dimension components in the self-regulation construct (conception of learning and metacognitive strategies) are significantly interrelated. However, this dimension does not account for the differences found in self-assessments students’ active participation. With regard to motivational dimension factors (goal orientation and self-efficacy), a significant relation between them is observed, but only self-efficacy explains the differences found in self-assessments’ active participation.
