Abstract
Self-efficacy, motivation, and personal goals are key factors for academic success, since they mutually influence each other and determine the level of student engagement, satisfaction, and performance in Higher Education virtual environments, which are characterized by flexibility, autonomy, and technology-mediated interaction. Therefore, this research proposes the evaluation of these theoretical factors of self-regulated learning based on the social cognitive theory of Bandura (1977) through the Self-regulated Online Learning Questionnaire of Barnard, Lan, To, Osland, & Lai (2009) to a sample of 102 participants, including undergraduate and graduate students and teachers from universities in Guayaquil, Ecuador. In the results, the factors "Form of Study", "Self-evaluation" and "Emotions and Feelings" showed greater consistency in relation to the sample studied, which reflects a higher development of self-regulatory skills in students in virtual environments in terms of the process of evaluating their own performance, comparing their real performance with their objectives and the motivational processes to achieve them.
