Abstract

This study investigated the effects of a Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) program on self-efficacy, self-control, and causal attributions of intellectually gifted adolescents in India. A six-week program was designed based on Zimmerman's (2000) cyclic model of SRL. A two-phase, sequential explanatory mixed methods study was carried out with 31 participants aged 11-13 years. Quantitative data collected at pre-, post-, and follow-up assessments using the self-report measures of self-efficacy for SRL, academic self-efficacy, self-control, and causal attributions were analyzed using repeated-measures ANOVA. Qualitative data from a follow-up survey were deductively analyzed using Zimmerman’s model. Results revealed significant positive changes in self-efficacy for SRL and causal attributions of personal control. Qualitative findings revealed the most effective aspects of the program in developing SRL skills.
