چکیده (انگلیسی):

The paper deals with self-regulated learning from the perspective of critical-realistic philosophy. In this respect, it is
focused on existing models of self-regulated learning, which it re-conceptualizes through the current categories of
critical realism. We draw from the latest works by Bhaskar, Harré and Elder-Vass. Although there has recently been
a relatively broad critique of methodology used to evaluate self-regulation, very little space has been devoted to
epistemology and ontology. We believe that the criticism of the existing ontology and epistemology of selfregulated
learning and its reconceptualization in the light of critical-realistic philosophy could contribute
significantly to the development of a heuristics theory of self-regulated learning.
