The Relationship Between Creative Tendencies And Self-regulated Learning In Upper Elementary School Students

Mastering the ability of self-regulated learning is an important foundation for students to realize lifelong learning.Educators at compulsory stage pay more and more attention on the cultivation of students' self-regulated learning ability.However,different students even in the same school,the same class,or even cultivated by the same teacher,their self-regulated learning ability is not the same.The self-regulated learning ability of students is not only affected by external factors,but also affected by internal factors of students.It has been found that students' creative tendency,academic self-efficacy and self-regulated learning ability are closely related to each other,but there is a few in-depth study of the relation among three factors.In order to enrich researchs of self-regulated learning,also better to provide some helpfull suggesttions and guidance of the learning's education of high-grade students in primary school for educators,and then promote the development of self-regulated learning ability of students.This research investigated the characteristics of creative tendency and self-regulated learning of high-grade students in primary school,and studied the relation between them,thereby to explore the affect of academic self-efficacy and peer support on creative tendency and self-regulated learning.Therefore,this study ultimately aimed to achieved the long-term development goal of promoting students' learning ability.This paper reviewed the affect factors of creative tendency,academic self-efficacy,self-regulated learning and peer support as well as their related study.By cluster sampling,995 of the high-grade students aged 11 to 13 from five primary schools in Guangdong Province were selected as study subjects.This study investigated the current situation and characteristics of creative tendency,academic self-efficacy,self-regulated learning and peer support of high-grade students in primary schools by Williams Creative Tendency Scale,Academic Self-efficacy Scale,Middle School Students Self-regulated Learning Scale and Peer Support Scale and the relation among them.On the basis of the data model and theory,the intervention plan of self-regulated learning was drew,and targeted intervention was applied on students of experimental class.The findings are as follows:(1)In term of the creative tendency of high-grade students in primary school,studentswhose parents have higher educational level are better than those whose parents have lower educational level;students with the more high scores are better than those with the the more low scores.(2)In term of the academic self-efficacy of high-grade students in primary school,girls are better than boys,students whose mothers have higher educational level are better than students whose mothers have lower educational level,students with the more high scores are better than those with the more low scores.(3)In term of the self-regulated learning of high-grade students in primary school,the cognitive strategy and motivational strategy of girls are better than boys;students whose parents have higher educational level are better than those whose parents have lower educational level.students with the more high scores are better than those with the more low scores.(4)In term of peer support of high-grade students in primary school,girls are better than boys,students from one-child a family are lower than those families have more than one child.Students with higher scores receives more peer support.(5)There are strong relation among creative tendency,academic self-efficacy,self-regulated learning and peer support.Creative tendency and academic self-efficacy positively predict self-regulated learning.Peer support moderates the relation among creative tendency,academic self-efficacy and self-regulated learning.(6)The creative tendency,academic self-efficacy and self-regulated learning ability of high-grade students in primary schools can be improved by group counseling intervention activities.
