Analysis of Self-Regulated Learning Skills in Senior High School Students: A Phenomenological Study

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to analyze self-regulated learning (SRL) level of senior high school students. This research is qualitative research with a phenomenological approach. The research sample consisted of 21 high school students who were selected using purposive sampling technique. Data collection techniques are used in-depth interviews to reveal participant experiences related to SRL. Data analysis techniques are done by using Creswell's analysis model that uses the stages of data collection, reduction, and interpretation. The results showed that several main themes were found that support the SRL skills that senior high school students have to possess, including the preparation phase, performance, and the reflection. To be able to develop SRL skills senior high school students, the school, teachers, and parents need to provide opportunities for exploration to students in order to gain knowledge and solve problems on their own. Students also need to be given the freedom to arrange their learning process by their goals.
