Abstract
Transition into middle school demands increased academic expectations and a greater focus on independent, self-directed assignments; however, students typically show a decrease in motivation, task value, and self-efficacy during this period. In recent years, self-regulation has received much attention because of its positive influence on student achievement and adaptive behavior. Though contemporary views of self-regulation have shifted from an individual constructivist perspective to a social constructionist perspective in which self-regulation is believed to be influenced by environmental context, there is limited research on how self-regulation is fostered within a middle school context. The purpose of this paper is to observe how self-regulation and factors related to this construct develop as individuals interact with others during math class. Survey data of 612 6th graders and 626 7th and 8th graders attending a public suburban school district in southeastern United States showed that perceptions of teacher support and co-regulation decreases throughout the middle school years. Moreover, teacher support alone was a significant predictor of the variance in 6th grade students' self-regulation behavior, where as all three constructs, teacher support, co-regulation, and self-efficacy were predictors of the variance in self-regulation in 7th and 8th grade students.
