Abstract
The current study aims to investigate the association between self-regulated learning and academic achievement in foster care and home-reared children in order to expand on the findings of prior research on the same sample. In the current study, a correlation design tailed by a t-test was used, and the overall self-regulated learning is found significantly and positively associated with the academic performance of foster care and home-reared children, as well as found the significant difference between foster care and home reared children on their academic performance at three levels of overall self-regulated learning and its sub-factors.
