BERRIDI RAMIREZ, Rebeca  and  MARTINEZ GUERRERO, José I.. Self-regulation strategies in virtual learning context. Perfiles educativos [online]. 2017, vol.39, n.156, pp.89-102. ISSN 0185-2698.

The aims of this study were focused on identifying self-regulated learning strategies and analyzing their relationship with educational performance of students in virtual learning environments. The design and construction of the self-regulated learning scale in virtual contexts followed systematic psychometric procedures that ensured the creation of satisfactory reliability and validity indexes. The structure of the tool includes four dimensions: I) strategies of planning and control in virtual learning contexts (α. 86); II) motivational attributions in virtual contexts (α. 82); III) collaborative work with colleagues (α. 83); and IV) support of the advisor in tasks (α. 80). The measurement model was verified by means of confirmatory factor analysis with adjustment indexes. The identification of certain self-regulation strategies such as control, planning and motivational attribution, as well as the degree of relationship with students' school performance, provides information about some success factors in virtual learning contexts.
