Abstract:

The study wanted to determine the level of academic self-regulation of the STEM students of Senior High School students of the Divine Word Colleges and its effect toward academic performance. There were four aspects of self-regulation investigated such as external regulation, introjected regulation, identified regulation and intrinsic motivation. Questionnaires were used to gather the data. The quantitative descriptive research design and explanation research was used in the study. The findings showed that the academic self-regulation of the STEM students of the senior high school of Divine Word Colleges is high which means that they have high external regulation, introjected regulation, identified regulation and moderate intrinsic motivation. However, the findings also showed that there is no correlation between academic self-regulation and their academic performance. Their academic performance can be caused by other factors that are not considered in this study.

Keywords: Self-regulation, self-determination theory, academic performance, external regulation, introjected regulation, identified regulation, intrinsic motivation.
