| Abstract: |
This case study explores self-regulation strategies used by Sunny, a high-achieving first-semester freshman student in calculus and aims to identify how she uses self-regulation strategies while in the course. Individual and group interviews were analyzed using categories of self-regulation strategies previously identified in the research literature. Findings suggest that Sunny's specific self-regulation habits for mathematics centered on mastering course concepts and shifted from focusing on memorization to focusing on understanding. This provides leverage for continued efforts to help foster productive self-regulation strategies for success in first-semester calculus. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
