REGULASI DIRI PADA MAHASISWA REGULER DAN MAHASISWA BEKERJA DI TAHUN PERTAMA KULIAH

Abstract

Background: In the face of various academic, social and personal demands, self-
regulation is an important factor that can help students organize their time,

manage stress, and achieve their goals. Both regular and working students are
faced with a more independent or autonomous environment. Self-regulation in
first-year college students is important because this period is the initial
foundation that will shape learning habits and performance in the following year.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the dynamics of self-
regulation of regular students and working students in the first year of college

and the factors that influence self-regulation. Method: This research is a
phenomenological qualitative research with semi-structured interview method.
The analysis technique is Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA).
Result: The results found that the choice to continue further study was influenced
by internal and external factors from each student concerned. There are several
aspects of self-regulation that are quite influential, namely time management,
goal orientation and motivation regulation, which of course have different
characteristics between regular and working students. Conclusion: The
importance of self-regulation for students in order to achieve academic success,
especially for regular students. Meanwhile, students work to maintain a balance
between academic and career success.
