Abstract :In the realm of education, emotional factors have been recognized to exert a substantial power on the learning process. Self-regulation and self-efficacy are among the most crucial emotional factors to have a positive impact on the learning process. However, upon an extensive review of the literature, not enough attention seems to be paid to concepts of self-regulation and self-efficacy with regard to secondary school learners in Türkiye. Thus, the aim of this quantitative study in a Turkish secondary school context is threefold: to assess secondary school learners’ self-efficacy and self-regulation levels and to examine the interplay between these notions among learners. Utilizing two self-reported scales to measure these affective factors with 270 secondary school students, the descriptive analysis reveals that learners in this study attain moderate levels of both traits. Additionally, upon the Pearson Correlation Analysis, a positive correlation was found between these traits. In light of these findings, the present study underscores the importance of these concepts in educational settings and advocates for their integration into teaching practices and teacher training programs.
