Question 1

When engaging in academic self-regulation:
A) It is best to wait until the professor provides you feedback
B) You should only rely on external feedback such as performance on a quiz
C) Focus mostly on heavily weighted assignments
D) Use external data when available but when it is not, use your own judgment

Accepted Answer

While external feedback can be valuable, it is important to also rely on your own judgment and self-reflection. Waiting for feedback from a professor may delay progress and improvement. Additionally, focusing only on heavily weighted assignments may cause neglect of important foundational knowledge and skills. Using a combination of external feedback and self-reflection can lead to effective academic self-regulation.

Question 2

Self-assessments are only valuable if they are:
A) Accurate
B) Completed prior to an assignment
C) Completed after an assignment

Accepted Answer

Self-assessments are only valuable if they are accurate, as their purpose is to gain insight into one's strengths and weaknesses in order to improve performance. Completing them prior to or after an assignment may be helpful, but accuracy is the most important factor. Completing them every day would be impractical and may not yield accurate results.

Question 10

Students often have ________.
A) Illusions of competence
B) Illusions of assessment
C) Illusions of performance anxiety
D) Illusions of grandeur

Accepted Answer

Research has shown that many students have illusions of competence, in which they believe they have a good understanding of the material and are performing well, but in reality they are not. This can lead to overconfidence and poor academic performance.

Question 11

A) Goals may need to be modified
B) New study strategies might be need to be incorporated into your study routine
C) Both of these statements are true
D) Neither of these statements are true

Self-regulation involves monitoring and adjusting one's own behavior and strategies in order to achieve a goal. Therefore, it is likely that goals may need to be modified or new study strategies may need to be incorporated in order to improve performance. Both statements A and B are true as a result of self-regulation.

Question 12

Students are most likely to:
A) Underestimate their performance
B) Provide accurate assessments of their performance
C) Overestimate their performance
D) It varies a lot; there is no consistent research finding in this area

Accepted Answer

Research generally shows that students tend to overestimate their performance, often due to biases like the Dunning-Kruger effect, where individuals with lower ability at a task overestimate their ability.

Question 13

Students who _______________ are most likely to stop studying too soon.
A) Underestimate their performance
B) Provide accurate assessments of their performance
C) Overestimate their performance
D) Rely primarily on self-judgments

Accepted Answer

Students who overestimate their performance may believe they already understand the material well enough to stop studying, even if they have not fully grasped the concepts. This can lead to them stopping their studying too soon and negatively affecting their performance.

Question 14

The self-regulation process is:
A) Linear
B) Cyclical
C) Simple
D) Hierarchical

Accepted Answer

The self-regulation process is cyclical, meaning it is a continuous process of setting goals, monitoring progress towards those goals, making adjustments as necessary, and then repeating the process. It is not a linear process with a clear start and finish, nor is it a simple process that can be accomplished in one step. It may involve hierarchical processes, but that is not the primary characteristic of self-regulation.

Question 15

Students who _______________ are most likely to be successful.
A) Underestimate their performance
B) Provide accurate assessments of their performance
C) Overestimate their performance
D) Rely primarily on self-judgments

Accepted Answer

Students who provide accurate assessments of their performance are more likely to recognize areas where they need improvement and take steps to address them. This self-awareness can lead to better learning outcomes and academic success. Students who underestimate or overestimate their performance may not have an accurate understanding of their abilities and may not take appropriate action to improve. Relying solely on self-judgments can also lead to biased or incomplete assessments of performance.

Question 16

During the self-reflection process, you should:
A) Assess your use of study strategies
B) Consider your beliefs about your ability to complete the task
C) Think about your motivation levels
D) All of these statements are true

During self-reflection, it is important to assess your use of study strategies, consider your beliefs about your ability to complete the task, and think about your motivation levels in order to improve your performance and achieve your goals. Therefore, all of these statements are true and should be considered during the self-reflection process.

Question 17

Illusions of competence refers to
A) Having high self-esteem
B) Having high self-efficacy
C) Performing well on exams
D) Being overconfident

Accepted Answer

Illusions of competence refer to being overconfident and overestimating one's abilities and knowledge. This can lead to poor decision-making and performance in various contexts, including academic, professional, and personal situations. Having high self-esteem and self-efficacy may be positive attributes, but they do not necessarily lead to illusions of competence. Similarly, performing well on exams may reflect actual competence rather than illusions of it.

Question 18

_____________ helps you stay on track toward your goals.
A) Self-regulation
B) Self-Actualization
C) Self-esteem
D) Self-efficacy

Accepted Answer

Self-regulation involves actively monitoring and managing your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in order to achieve your goals. It helps you stay on track and make progress towards your desired outcomes. Self-actualization, self-esteem, and self-efficacy are all important for personal growth and achievement, but they do not necessarily involve the same level of active self-monitoring and adjustment as self-regulation.
