Competency in study for a sample of the math and science area in the university

This study evaluated the perception of 126 students on the use of self-regulation strategies study. The students were the exact area of ​​a particular isolated college in Minas Gerais, aged 17 to 48 years, and 81% were male. We used the study of Competence Scale (ECE-S & T) to assess the perceptions of students about strategic behavior of planning, monitoring and self-evaluation. Students indicated that self-regulation of their learning and study planning strategies are the most used. Women used more planning strategies than men and there was no statistically significant difference between the exact course or between different age groups. Thus concludes that although students present self-regulatory strategies, these are most often directed to the planning of the study, which reveals the need for greater use of self-assessment and monitoring strategies for a competent study.
