Self-regulated learning (SRL) is also called learner autonomy or autonomous learning, in the process of which learners decide their target of learning, choose their own learning materials and learning methods, monitor their learning process, evaluate their learning results and adjust their learning practice. Rapid development of science and technology and the coming of knowledge economy call for lifelong learning and lifelong learning can only be realized through self-regulated learning. Because of the traditional culture and the test-oriented education, most Chinese students are passive receivers of knowledge, and their learning is by no means autonomous. The purpose of this thesis is get to know peoples understanding of self-regulated learning, and students understanding in particular, to find the status quo of SRL both inside and outside of schools, to find factors affecting students autonomous learning, and finally to work out some effective ways to train students SRL ability. This investigation was carried out in questionnaire form. 1000 copies were distributed to interviewees including English majors, students of liberal arts, science and engineering students, middle school teachers and students. Statistics show that over 75% of the interviewees have general or poor understanding of SRL; 64% of interviewees choose "increasing knowledge" as their purpose of SRL; 86.8% of interviewees think that the age range between 16 and 30 is the best period of human life for SRL; most interviewees agree that motivation, confidence, affect, and other non-intelligence factors have great influence on SRL; and SRL ability is mainly acquired by learners themselves, which is a little bit out of the authors expectation. This thesis also recommends several effective ways to enhance learners SRL ability. They are: strengthening the understanding of the various aspects of SRL; training non-intelligence factors, such as willpower, motivation, self-esteem, disposition, etc.; training of learning strategies and cognitive strategies; facilitating the development of meat-cognitive ability.
