My research work (3).
Self-regulated learning is an important contributor of success in school life. Students with good self-regulation do better in their work, in social life and have less psychopathology and other problems. How students move towards their goal depends on their goal orientation. They may try to compete with others or think of learning the task and improving their self. Goal orientation’s role in students’ self-regulation is highly important. In order to regulate their selves they need to sharpen their goal orientation. Family environment is another important contributor of every student’s effort to regulate. In this present project effort has been taken to found the importance of these contributors on students’ self-regulated learning.
Now, I have developed an activity-based module to promote adolescents self-regulated learning in their school environment. This helps students to have insight about their present functioning and their desire about future. This also helps in finding ways to enhance their learning and regulate their self in order to reach their long-term goals.

Self-reguated learning of adolescents
My research work (2).
How students take personal initiative for their academic learning depends on their self-regulatory skills. Self-regulation involves meta-cognition, motivation and overt behaviour. Cognitive style of student has influence on students’ self-regulatory skills.
Self-regulated learning of students has highly correlated with parents’ education. Highly educated parents adolescents displayed high self-regulatory skills. Both logical and intuitive styles of functioning has related to self-regulated learning of adolescents

Cognitive style and goal orientation
My research work(1).
My first research focuses on individuals’ way of perceiving things, events, and their work. Every one of us have specialized way of dealing the world. Some people follow serialistic approach (Logical) and others wholistic approach (Intuitive). How these two types of college students of various courses develops their goals and find ways to reach their goal is my topic of first research.
Some important findings of my research are
1. A cognitive style plays a vital role in determining how students approach and engage their learning.
2. Female college students use more serilistic approach of information processing.
3. Engineering students have more visualization of their future and nursing student has more inner conscience in their decision-making (Insight).
4. Students resides in cities have accustomed to serialistic thinking.
5. Students’ way of information processing their orientation to their goals.

BEWARE OF YOUR GOALS
“How can we remember our ignorance, which our growth requires, when we are using our knowledge all the time”.
/ Thoreau/
Goal in life is ultimate necessity.
What we do with the goals is also highly important. Be aware, whether you have a learning goal or proving goal.
In learning goal, you may focus on empowering yourself, mastering the task, increasing ability, and looking for higher challenging accomplishments. Failures won’t affect you because it will leave a lesson to you to proceed further. It won’t be a burden, which become obstacle to your growth. You may try to get the work done with some other method. You could concentrate on where thing went wrong and how could you correct it. You compare your previous performance, with your present one & recognize and appreciate yourself for your improvement. (Scoring better marks than previous test).
If your goal is proving one or performing, being superior and besting others. your focus will be in pleasing other, competing others, thinking about performing well, getting pleasant feedback, best at task in comparison to others. Presence of others would define your response. You may try to work hard in order to compete with other, or proving your ability to others. At times if you got failure, your failure will be attributed for your inability to do the task. You get shame of yourself. If you felt the task a complicated one, you may get back from the task and avoid the task itself. It will affect our further development. (Getting first rank in the class, if the class is filled with very dull students, we get pleased of the first rank even though we could improve further the meet our fullest potential).
