摘要：With the availability of a wide array of social media platforms, it is not surprising that students use social media to support their formal learning in a voluntary manner. To achieve effective learning, it is important for students to employ self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies to manage their learning process. There has been limited work concerning the SRL strategies that students use in a voluntary context of learning with social media. Objective. This study aims to uncover how students use SRL strategies when learning with social media in a voluntary context. Results. Based on focus group discussions with 41 university students, this study uncovered two categories of SRL strategies: regulation of learning (i.e., goal setting, environment structuring, performance control,self-evaluation),regulation of social media use (i.e., information evaluation, support exchange,distraction management). The findings have implications for students’ effective learning with new technologies like social media in formal education lifelong learning.
