Abstract

In today’s society education is getting more and more attention, and students’ learning initiative is one of the research hotspots. Some researchers have found that students’ learning initiative (LI) is one of the key factors of educational effectiveness, and personality traits are considered to be important determinants of individual behavior and decision-making. Self-regulated learning (SRL) acting as a mediator has not been fully investigated. Therefore, based on questionnaire survey data from Chinese college students, this paper uses correlation analysis, regression analysis, and mediation analysis to investigate the impact Five Factor Model of Personality (FFM) on college students’ LI and the self- regulated learning. It is found that FFM significantly and positively influences college students’ LI; SRL play a partial mediating role. The enhancement of self-regulated learning ability can promote students’ LI.
