Abstract

This research was aimed to describe the correlation between self-regulation and writing achievement. The method used in this research was correlational research. The population of the research was the sixth semester students of English Education Study Program of UIN Raden Fatah Palembang. There were 103 students from four classes as the population in this research. 81 students were choosen as the sample by using total sampling. Furthermore, there were two variables in this research, the first one was self-regulation (variable X) and the second one was students’ writing achievement (variable Y). The students self- regulation score was taken from Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) provided by Pintrich. Meanwhile, the students writing achievement was taken from writing essay test. Based on the data analysis, it was found that the r- obtained (0.011) was lower than r-table (0.2185). Then the level of probability (p) significance (sig.2-tailed) was 0.919. which means that p (0.919) was higher than 0.05. Therefore null hypothesis (H 0 ) was accepted and the alternative hypothesis (H a ) was rejected. From the research finding, it could be concluded that there was no significant correlation between self-regulation and writing achievement. It means that students’ self-regulation was not a dominant factor that affects writing achievement. Keywords: Self-Regulation, Writing Achievement
