5. Attributions High performers - strategy Low performers - ability across all areas

6. YesNo My goal is to complete all of the task at once My goal is to complete the task in small steps, one at a time

7. Goal setting High performers - short term goals - specific Low performers - vague long term outcome goals

8. YesNo I am aware that I choose the most appropriate strategy to complete the task

9. YesNo I use self - control approaches when doing a task - Self - talk - Imagery - Attention focusing

10. YesNo I constantly self-monitor to see if my strategies are working whilst doing the task

19. Self Regulatory Checklist Planning What is the nature of the task? What is my goal? What kind of information and strategies do I need? How much time and resources will I need? Do I need to modify environment / others? What is my motivation? – ease/ competence Skill Will

20. Self Regulatory Checklist Monitoring Do I have a clear understanding of what I am doing? Does the task make sense? Am I reaching my goals? Do I need to make changes? Do I need to modify the environment ? Do I need to modify my thoughts /emotions? Skill Will

21. Self Regulatory Checklist Evaluating Have I reached my goal? What worked? What didn’t work? Would I do things differently next time? What is the impact on my motivation? Skill Will

38. THE EVALUATION (N=14) Thirteen students agreed the course had given them new information about the way that they learn completing the questionnaire helped them to identify their approach to learning the opportunity to discuss their approach to learning in the group was useful the handouts on study strategies were useful. One student did not find the course useful as he was already aware of his approach to learning ! Medical Education (2010) 44(11) 1122–1123
