Abstract :The purpose of this study is to identify the factors of character education that affect students` self-regulation skills. Research uses a quantitative approach. The instrument used was adapted from SRLOQ, which was developed by insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Vrieling et al., 2013);, but modified with words to fit the context of this study. The research instrument consisted of two parts: measurement of self-regulation skills and student demographic information with a total of 108 students who took part in a character education training program at a high school in Islamic boarding schools. Data analysis involves t test, analysis of variance and multiple regression analysis. The results of this study indicate that gender and age have a strong and significant influence on self-regulation skills. Previous education was also found to have an indirect impact on self-regulation skills. This shows that age maturity is an important component of self-regulation skills, because the higher the age level, the higher the student`s thinking ability. In addition, gender is also a component that affects self-regulation skills because there are differences in the way of thinking between men and women. The findings of this study indicate that self-regulation skills become dynamic entities especially with increasing age and gender differences.
