Self-regulated learning and academic performance amongst UTM undergraduates

The purpose of this study is to investigate the level of self-regulated learning behaviour of final year UTM, Skudai students, and its relationship with students academic performance. A total of 388 final year undergraduate students from technology, applied science and arts disciplines participated...
