Chapter 1: Research design: 1 Introduction: Student academic progress is one of the important indicators in the evaluation of education and It is education and all the efforts in this system are considered to be an effort for the society to cover this matter. In general, the whole society and in particular the education system is interested and worried about the fate of children, their successful growth and development, their place in society and expects students to progress and excel in various aspects, including cognitive aspects and acquiring skills and abilities, as well as in emotional and personality dimensions, as they should (Pourshafi, 2010).
Undoubtedly, in today's advanced world, one of the signs of individual success is academic progress, without which there is no development and advancement. A country will not be possible. The progress of any country is directly related to the progress of science, knowledge and technology of that country, and scientific progress is not achieved unless creative people are trained. Educational progress, while being effective in the development and prosperity of the country, at high levels leads to finding a suitable job and position, and as a result, sufficient income. Students who have academic positions, family and society look at them with respect. They will be present in the society with more spirit and vitality, and besides these, the exorbitant costs imposed on education and training due to academic failure will be reduced. Achieving productivity and improving the quality of the education system can be considered the most effective factor in the development of countries. The experiences of advanced countries such as Japan in the field of comprehensive development also indicate investment in educational and human resources. In order to achieve these goals, improving the quality of the educational situation is one of the basic goals of educational programs.
The theory and scientific research on self-regulated learning was raised in the mid-1980s in response to the question of how students master their own learning processes.In fact, from the 1980s onwards, self-regulated learning as a new strategy to help students master the learning process and improve the quality of learning in general, received the attention of psychologists, counselors and education specialists. Until the 1980s, studies in the field of self-regulation learning were focused on various individual, family and social contexts, and after that, this structure was raised in the field of learning and was the focus of various theories of psychology, including behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructionism (Kadivar, 2018). And he has a desire to learn and is able to evaluate the entire learning process and think about it (Berry, 1994). Screw and Brooks (2000) consider self-regulation in learning, the ability of students to understand and control their learning, which is very important for success in course materials and turns them into effective and efficient learners.

(Norouzi et al., 2017).
