Self-efficacy and Self-Regulated Learning Strategies of Greek Sign Language hearing adults learners

This study investigated the self-regulated learning strategies that hearing adults use during Greek Sign Language learning, the self-efficacy believes they have and the correlation between self-efficacy and self-regulated learning strategies usage. The methodological approach was a combination of quantitative and qualitative method while questionnaires and interviews were used as the study tools. According to the study results, during sign language learning students use most affective and social strategies, they feel self-efficacious enough and there is a positive relationship of high tension between self-efficacy and affective strategies usage. Despite researcher’s exhaustive search of literature no similar research referred to Greek Sign Language has been found. Therefore this study fills a literature gap.
