Exploring the relation between Self regulated learning and Locus of control: A synthesis of literature review

Self-regulated learning (SRL) and Locus of control (LoC) are two very important constructs in educational psychology that have a significant impact on students’ academic success. While SRL emphasizes an individual’s ability to understand and regulate their learning process, Locus of Control pertains to an individual’s belief about the underlying causes of their life events. The review paper encompasses 20 studies published between 2000 and 2024 that have been thoroughly examined by using the Google scholar, ResearchGate, Shodhganga, Science Direct, Scopus, Web of Science, ERIC database. In this study, empirical findings on the relationship between self-regulated learning and locus of control is explored. However, some other variables are also included in the study.
