Abstract

The previous studies in educational psychology indicated that the role of personality as well as self-regulated learning in the academic achievement prediction. However, there are few studies attempt on the relation of personality and self-regulated learning in determining academic performance. This study aimed to explore the dynamic of personality factors according to the Big Five Personality Traits model, self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies, and academic achievement. 342 college students of University of HKBP Nommensen were participated in this study. The Big Five Personality Traits scale with five dimensions: extraversion, neuroticsm, openness to experience, conscientiousness, and agreeableness and the SRL strategies scale were employed. Academic achievement was assessed by the participants’ GPA reported. The results revealed that both of personality factors and self-regulated learning strategies were significant predictors of academic achievement. Moreover, it was found that among five personality factors, three of them had significant contribution to GPA. They were conscientiousness, extraversion, and neuroticsm. Regarding to several self-regulated learning strategies, only two of them were giving a significant contribution to GPA, critical thinking and effort regulation. The findings implied that educators need to concern about how the personality characteristics of learners would affect on their self-regulatory activities.
