Analysis of Self-Regulated Learning Levels in Prospective Elementary School Teacher Students in Surakarta

This study focuses on self-regulated learning (SRL), a process in which individuals actively control their learning process through planning, monitoring, and self-evaluation. The purpose of this study was to analyze the level of SRL in the Surakarta Elementary School Teacher Education Study Program. The method used was a survey. The population in this study consisted of students from the Elementary School Teacher Education (ESTE) Program at the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, UNS Surakarta. The sample comprised 105 students. The instrument used in this study was a questionnaire encompassing aspects of metacognition, motivation, and behavior. The data analysis technique employed descriptive statistics. The results showed that the level of SRL of Surakarta Elementary School Teacher Education students was in the moderate category. Although students have demonstrated adequate SRL abilities, several aspects still need to be improved, especially in terms of time management and learning strategies. This shows that although students have managed their learning quite well, there is still room for improvement in these aspects. These findings provide valuable insights for curriculum development and teaching strategies in the Surakarta Elementary School Teacher Education Study Program. By understanding weaknesses in time management and learning strategies, curriculum development and teaching methods can be focused on these areas to further support the improvement of students' SRL, thereby improving the effectiveness of their learning and academic outcomes.
