The Relationship Between Mastery Motivation, Self-Regulated Learning, and School Success: A Hungarian and Wider European Perspective

This chapter explores the relationship between mastery motivation and self-regulated learning (SRL). These two concepts and their relations are analyzed from an educational point of view, since both constructs are strongly related to cognitive development and school achievement. However, barely any studies have so far investigated the way these two constructs relate to school achievement. In addition, signi cant differences can be found in the origins and phylogenetic development of the two concepts.
