The SRL is a crucial component of learners that helps students achieve their personal objectives related to their learning objectives [
49], however, this multidimensional idea cannot be understood in a plain or basic manner [
50]. Self-regulation in learning has traditionally been approached from cognitive-behavioral [
51] and cognitive-development perspectives [
52]. Social and motivational aspects were studied by social cognitive researchers [
53]. Metacognition was used as a lens through which to view self-regulation [
54], [
55]. Modern self-regulation theory includes cognitive, motivational, social, and behavioral elements while considering cultural, organizational, and contextual influences [
56]. According to Zimmerman, self-regulation refers to how actively students participate in their own learning from a metacognitive, motivational, and behavioral perspective [
57], [
58]. In SRL students form goals that match their own needs and preferences (self-determination) and flexibly. One of the areas of self-regulation that best aligns with educational goals is self-directed learning. It refers to learning that is guided by metacognition, strategic action, and learning motivation in general [
59]. Students learning behavior includes a variety of cognitive, metacognitive, and self-regulating learning and resource management techniques [
60], [
61]. SRL is multipurpose and adjustable, and learners often create their own toolkit of techniques [
62]. According to Pintrich, pupils actively develop their meanings, objectives, and strategies based on knowledge both within and outside of their heads [
63], [
64]. Research reveals personal, environmental and behavioral determinants of SRL [
65], [
66]. The triadic paradigm links behavior to both internal and external causes. The usage of strategies is demonstrated as follows: from Person to Behavior, then to Environment. A person receives feedback from their environment and behavior. Additionally, it integrates covert, behavioral, and environmental self-regulation [
67]. Therefore, the level of self-influence over the current learning environment and behavior will be referred to as self-regulation [
68]. It entails self-generated ideas, emotions, and deeds to accomplish one's learning objectives. The model was then updated to include motivators, most notably self-efficacy. An example of a self-regulating dynamic loop model is provided by Zimmerman and Moylan. It consists of an executive phase that involves self-control and self-observation, a self-reflective phase that involves self-judgment and self-reaction, and a vision phase that involves task analysis and self-motivating beliefs. Self-efficacy, result expectations, task interest/value, and purpose are among the beliefs related to self-motivation. Most experts agree that the most significant component influencing autonomous learning is self-efficacy. The term "self-efficacy" was first used by psychologist Albert Bandura, who defined it as a person's confidence in their capacity to carry out specific tasks. Self-regulated learning processes are directly associated to self-efficacy, according to empirical studies [
69], Self-efficacy and self-regulated learning techniques both contribute to the prediction of student achievement. A four-stage model of SRL was created by Pintrich. The following processes are involved: anticipating, planning, and activating; monitoring; viewing; and responding and reflecting. Cognition, motivation/influence, behavior, and context are each of them different regulatory domains. The two components of this process are the student's skill mastery and their switch ability, according to Boekaerts' model of SRL. The model attaches pupils' insights of their surroundings to various self-regulation strategies. Most modern researchers regard SRL as one of several factors that influence academic performance rather than as an autonomous multicomponent phenomenon. E-learning necessitates a unique learning environment. When teachers and peers are not present, the impact of social interactions is diminished. Existing social influence is spread via technological means. At the same time, students are in their familiar home environment, and immersion in the electronic education environment necessitates student participation. This is referred to as "learned presence" by Shea and Bidjerano. [
70]. As a result, SRL is becoming more important. As a result, it's important to reconsider current SRL approaches and incorporate them into e-learning. In addition to adapting to changing contexts, new forms of education must also include elements that are less crucial for self-regulation in more established educational models. Although comparable tendencies have been seen at all educational levels, higher education has been the subject of the greatest study. In the context of SRL in an online environment, a systematic review suggested issues to investigate. These include metacognition, effort regulation, time management, peer learning, articulation, rehearsal, organization, critical thinking, and help-seeking [
71]. However, the impact and opportunities of the digital learning are undervalued. OL intersects and create a communal e-learning space characterized by e-learning engagement. The level of involvement in online learning depends on two factors: the learning and internet environment, and the physical environment. Working in the higher education requires students to have certain capabilities and skills. Not only computer equipment, internet connection, and other necessary equipment, but even ergonomic factors such as furniture, lighting, sound, temperature, and color spectrum can cause problems with e-learning.
