self-regulated learningSelf-Regulation Theory (SRT) is a system of conscious personal health managementSelf-Regulation is a term used to describe private governance systems where groups of firms cooperate to set and meet standards. The purpose of such systems may be to avoid government regulation or to enhance an industry's reputation where it is crucial to profits (Haufler 2001). One example of industry self-regulation is the Responsible Care program that sets standards for emissions and operations of chemical firms around the world. Firms voluntarily adhere to the standards.

The term self-regulated can be used to describe learning that is guided by
metacognition, strategic action (planning, monitoring, and evaluating personal progress against a standard), and motivation to learn (Butler & Winne, 1995; Winne & Perry, 2000; Perry, Phillips, & Hutchinson, 2006; Zimmerman, 1990). In particular, self-regulated learners are cognizant of their academic strengths and weaknesses, and they have a repertoire of strategies they appropriately apply to tackle the day-to-day challenges of academic tasks. These learners hold incremental beliefs about intelligence (as opposed to fixed views of intelligence) and attribute their successes or failures to factors (e.g., effort expended on a task, effective use of strategies) within their control (Dweck & Leggett, 1988; Dweck, 2002). Finally, students who are self-regulated learners believe that opportunities to take on challenging tasks, practice their learning, develop a deep understanding of subject matter, and exert effort will give rise to academic success (Perry et al., 2006). In part, these characteristics may help to explain why self-regulated learners usually exhibit a high sense of self-efficacy (Pintrich & Schunk, 2002). In the
educational psychology literature, researchers have linked these characteristics to success in and beyond school (Pintrich, 2000; Winne & Perry, 2000).
