Abstract

Purpose: To investigate the validity and reliability of Carlo Magno (2010) Academic Self-Regulation Learning scale (ASRL-S).
Method: In this regard, 360 students including 252 girls and 108 boys were selected by stratified sampling method among students of the Faculty of Humanities of Islamic Azad University of Quchan. To assess the reliability of the questionnaire, Cronbach's alpha coefficient and to do so for its validity, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were used.
Findings: Just like Magno’s results (2010, 2011a,b), this study showed that the internal consistency Cronbach's alpha coefficient for a total acceptable of 0.939 and its subscales between 0.718 and 0.874. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis also confirms that the structure of the questionnaire has a reasonably good value with the data and all good indicators of value confirm the model (RMR=0.03, RMSEA=0.047, GFI=0.927, AGFI=0.902). Thus the questionnaire can be a useful tool for assessment of students' self-regulation learning.
