It has two main purposes. First, it explores the strategies that are used by teachers of first-year classes to help the students be self-regulated learners. Second, it investigates the extent to what first-year students are self-regulated learners. To conduct this study, the work relied on Zimmerman’s theory of self-regulation involving developing four learning skills such as time planning and management skills, text comprehension skills, classroom note-taking skills, and writing skills. The work has adopted a questionnaire addressed to teachers of first-year classes, and a classroom observation. The results show that teachers of first-year classes use some strategies of self-regulation to help the students be self-regulated learners to develop the four learning skills. The results also show that first-year students need to be motivated.enThesis
