Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Self‑regulation and educational performance are among the most important topics
to be discussed in schools and universities. The present study aimed to the relationship between
self‑regulation and educational performance among daughter students of police officers in Birjand
City, Iran (public and Payame Noor) in 2017.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This research is a correlational cross‑sectional study. In total,
200 female students were selected using random sampling method. The Ryan and Connell’s
Self‑Regulation Questionnaire and Durtaj’s educational performance scale were used to collect data.
The data were analyzed using the Pearson correlation coefficient.
RESULTS: The results showed that there is a significant correlation between self‑regulation and
educational performance among students of Payame Noor University, whereas it is not significant
for public university students.
CONCLUSION: We can provide students with effective and useful tips to improve their academic
achievement and performance by teaching them self‑regulation skills. Therefore, the cornerstone
of educational achievement in students should be in that way to achieve the desired educational
performance and also increase their self‑regulation.
