Author(s) Haleema Sadia

Abstract The study was designed to examine the practices of self-regulated learning at higher education level and to compare self-regulated learning of students on the basis of gender. The theoretical framework of the study was based on the self-regulated learning model presented by Zimmerman (2002), which comprised of three phases of self-regulated learning as forethought/pre-action (task analysis, motivational believes), performance (self-control, selfobservation), and self-reflection (self-judgment, self-reaction). The researcher used the quantitative research approach, further, the comparative research method used for the research. For the current study, students enrolled in the social sciences departments (Total=8659) (session 2019) of public sector universities of Islamabad were the population. Stratified proportionate sampling technique was used. The researcher divided the entire population into sub-groups of male and female then randomly selected the final number proportionally from both groups. The sample size was 10% which was 866, (Male=480, Female= 386). Selfdeveloped questionnaire was used, based on self-regulated learning phases (Zimmerman (2002). The result of reliability was (.979). Data analyzed by Statistical package for social sciences (SPSS). Independent t-test was used for gender comparison. Mean was calculated for assessing self-regulated learning practices. The students were practicing Task Analysis, Motivational Believes, Self-Control, and self-Reaction, and students were in less practice of Self-observation and Self-judgment. Further, there was significant difference found in practices of self-regulated learning between male and female students. Female university students were found better in practice of self-regulated learning than male students. It is recommended that; that university management may conduct session for Video-based activity to enhance selfobservation. And it was recommended that university management may conduct Interview session to enhance self-management. It was also suggested that university may conduct classroom activities to enhance the practices of self-regulated learning in the students at universities. It was suggested that university management may conduct session to guide students especially for male and provide specific cues for using self-regulated learning strategies
