SUEHIRO, Adriana Cristina Boulhoça; BORUCHOVITCH, Evely and SCHELINI, Patrícia Waltz. Learning strategies and emotional regulation in Elementary School. Est. Inter. Psicol. [online]. 2018, vol.9, n.3, suppl.1, pp.90-111. ISSN 2236-6407.
The aims of the present study were to characterize the use of learning and emotional regulation strategies of basic education Brazilian children, to examine whether there are differences in the major variables in relation to students´ sex, school year, and age, as well as to explore possible relationship between the variables. The sample consisted of 38 basic education students from public schools. No significant gender differences emerged in the scores of learning strategies and emotional regulation scales. The results revealed that students who were more advanced in school had lower means in the learning strategies scale than those who were in the middle of the Basic Education. Correlations tended to be positive and significant between cognitive, metacognitive and emotional regulation, but their magnitudes were predominantly weak.
