elf-regulated learning (SRL) has gained increasing interest in educational research. Although SRL models agree on the dynamic interplay between forethought, performance, and self-reflection processes, they differ in the subprocesses implied at each phase. The main objectives of this study were to develop and test an SRL model by integrating main contributions of social cognitive career theory and Zimmerman?s SRL model in a sample of undergraduates in Argentina. Structural equation modeling showed that three models fitted well to the data, explaining between 21% and 34% of the variance. The results of this study provide theoretical and empirical support for the SRL model.
