The effect of problem solving training on self regulated learning strategies (planning, manitoring & control, reflection) in students

Developmental self-regulation has an essential role on the process of learning in students. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of problem solving skills training on self regulated learning strategies (planning, manitoring & control, and reflection) in distance education students. Statistical population of this research consisted all of distance education students of payamenour university (80 students). The sample was 30 students that were selected randomly out of 80 people. These students were randomly assigned into experimental and control groups. Participants were asked to complete the self regulation in learning questionaire. experimental group participated in 5 sessions (1 session a week). Each session lasted for 90 minutes. Unisef problem solving skills training was employed on experimental group as independent variable.
Covariance analysis showed that there is a significant difference between mean scores of experimental and control groups (p
