The self-control, confidence, and knowledge gained from self-regulation gives students the resiliency and skill to successfully navigate college and careers. Implementing self-regulation fine-tunes students’ organizational ability and builds healthy work habits. The self-awareness and self-critiques used in self-regulation help students stay on track and persevere toward goals, work well with others, and adapt to new situations (Schunk & Zimmerman, 2003).
