A Comparison Between Selected Aspects Of The National Curriculum In England And Wales And The Common Curriculum In Ontario, With Particular Reference To The Science Programs In Both Systems., Bernard. Taylor

Students taking courses at the advanced level of study were found to be greater users of self-regulated learning strategies than those students taking courses at the general level. Select higher-order strategies were positively correlated with achievement at the advanced level. At the general level, reported use of any of the nine identified …
