Sequential explanatory mixed-methods study reveals distinct self-regulated learning profiles in foreign-language readers, highlighting self-efficacy as a primary driver of strategic reading.

Key Points

To identify latent profiles of self-regulated learning strategies among secondary EFL readers and evaluate how individual factors, including motivational beliefs and reading proficiency, predict profile membership.
Assessed 1,113 students in grades 11 and 12 who completed a standardized reading comprehension test and questionnaires measuring cognitive, metacognitive, and motivational regulation strategies.
Conducted follow-up semi-structured qualitative interviews with a randomly selected subsample (n = 16) within a sequential explanatory mixed-methods framework.
Identified three distinct latent self-regulated learning profiles corresponding to high, medium, and low strategy utilization.
Self-efficacy and extrinsic motivation served as the strongest predictors of profile membership, with learners in higher-use profiles exhibiting significantly higher intrinsic and extrinsic motivation levels.
Reading proficiency did not significantly predict profile membership, although students with higher self-regulation achieved higher reading scores as an overall group trend.
