What is it about?
Self-regulated learning is crucial to academic success of students. Nevertheless, most previous studies were conducted with students at secondary or tertiary levels. Our study involved a sample of 2972 Hong Kong primary school students and we found that self-regulated learning was predicted by students' previous achievement, their interest in the subject, how they define success, and teachers' feedback.

Instead, formal training is indispensable, thus identifying such predictors of self-regulated learning is imperative for educators.
