“…Evidence suggests that several factors are associated with self-regulated learning, some of which have been the focus of investigation. Most recently, researchers have emphasized studies involving the variables: learning strategies (Bortoletto & Boruchovitch, 2013;Clayton, Blumberg, & Auld, 2010;Cunha & Boruchovitch, 2012;Donaciano & Almeida, 2011;Karabenick & Dembo, 2011), motivation to learn (Azevedo et al, 2012;Berger & Karabenick, 2011;Boruchovitch, 2008a;Brophy, 2010;Bzuneck, 2005), implicit theories of intelligence (Boruchovitch, 2001;Dweck, 2006;King, 2012) and self-handicapping strategies (Ganda & Boruchovitch, in press;Rhodewalt, 2008), among others. Learning strategies, according to Nisbett and Shucksmith (1987), are conscious processes that can be used by students to achieve the learning objectives.…”
