Title of your Abstract : Is there a correlation between different measures of self-regulated learning in medical 
education?

Abstract(Please copy/paste the abstract send to the congress) : Background: There is increasing interest in understanding self-regulated learning (SRL), but SRL 
processes are commonly identified by using two different measures (real-time microanalysis 
and retrospective questionnaires). This pilot study was the first to examine the correlation 
between microanalysis and the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) in 
medical education. 
Summary of work: A standard SRL microanalysis assessment protocol was developed and 
administered to 76 Year 1 medical students whilst performing a biomedical science learning 
task. The verbal responses were recorded and coded by two independent assessors. All 
participants completed an MSLQ two weeks after performing the same learning task. 
Summary of results: The SRL microanalysis self-efficacy measure had medium correlation with 
the MSLQ self-efficacy subscale composite score (r= 0.39, p= 0.001). There were no significant 
correlations between other SRL microanalysis measures (goal setting and strategic planning, 
metacognitive monitoring and adaptive inferences) and the related MSLQ subscale composite 
scores (p> 0.05). 
Discussion: The lack of significant correlation between SRL microanalysis and questionnaire 
measures is consistent with the only previous research from another educational context. The 
two measures appear to identify different aspects of SRL, with microanalysis related to a 
student’s approach to a specific task and questionnaires related to a general approach. 
Conclusions: This pilot study was the first to compare SRL microanalysis and a commonly used 
questionnaire measure of SRL in medical education. The results suggest that each measure 
identifies different aspects of SRL used by students. We recommend further studies with larger 
samples and different contexts to confirm our findings. 
Take-home Messages: Fully understanding how students engage in SRL in medical education, 
especially to provide targeted feedback and remediation of struggling students, requires the 
use of both microanalysis and questionnaire measures since each measure identifies different 
aspects of SRL that are used by students.

Please inform us if there are any follow up actions we need to talk with the members of the congress :  
Your experiences about the travel processes(Providing ticket, accommodation,...) : The AMEE congress participation fee is high, so that, most of the PhD students and faculty could not participate in this important congress.
Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: : AMEE is an international congress in the subject of medical education. 
Participation in a very large community of medical educators was inspiring for me. Sharing our experiences would be valuable for future decision making.

AMEE conference provides diverse experiences for participants. Workshops hold during the conference was valuable particularly. We can get idea for faculty development courses in our country.

Moreover, posters hall was very informative for gaining idea. It was full of medical education experiences which applied around the world. The structure and appearance of posters was attractive too.
