The completeness of a program in the education unit (in this case secondary school) will end with the holding of an evaluation of learning outcomes or exams, which are school exams and national exams, students will increase their learning activities in preparation for being able to take exams and try to produce satisfying achievements. This study aims to explain students' experiences in practicing self-regulated learning (SRL), which includes students' readiness in an active, constructive process, able to set learning goals, monitor, regulate, and control cognition, motivation, and behavior. This study uses a qualitative approach with data collection methods in the form of a focused group discussion (FGD) and essay writing on seven main informant students, plus interviews with seven supporting informants (subject friends). The informants in this study are students of class XII who have taken the school exams and national exams. The results of this study explain that the experience of SRL in students, in behavior, motivation, and cognitive (learning strategies), still requires an increase in the problem of time management, planning, and targets. Internally, the suitability of SRL is motivated by habits, motivation, and goals, while externally influenced by culture, parenting, and the environment. SRL is a managerial skill in learning because it regulates learning resources so that they can be taught or trained as early as possible to optimize academic skills and academic adjustment of students in the future.

Self-Regulated Learning or SRL is an important academic performance for every student in completing a series of academic activities and realized by himself, especially in an online learning environment that is not supervised directly by the teacher. This research is an effort to develop a measuring instrument in the form of an SRL scale and called the SRLS based on three aspects according to the theory presented by Zimmerman. The purpose of this study is to produce a student SRL measurement tool in the online learning era in order to find patterns of student involvement in learning that can be applied by students to improve learning achievement. Respondents involved in this study amounted to 408 students of SMP/MTs grades VII to IX. Validation of items through an expert judgment process by experts in psychometry and psychology with the results of the content validity item (CVI) obtained is 0.68 to 1.00 and the reliability test results have a Cronbach alpha value of 0.893. The results of this research will provide benefits to identify patterns of student involvement in learning and generated guidelines for the use of the SSRL measuring instrument.
