Abstract

The present study aimed to assess the validity and reliability of a scale developed to measure self-regulation levels among a sample of students with learning disabilities. The researcher constructed the scale, which in its final version comprised (17) items, categorized into three dimensions: Emotional regulation, Effortful control, and School behavior regulation. The study sample consisted of (32) students with learning difficulties in the upper elementary school, including (23) females and (9) males. This was accomplished by assessing the face validity and internal consistency of the scale and calculating its reliability through "Cronbach's alpha". The results indicated that the scale items demonstrated face validity according to the agreement of the expert judges. Moreover, the internal consistency of the self-regulation scale across its dimensions was verified. The overall "Cronbach's alpha" coefficient for the scale was (0.526) indicating an acceptable level of reliability. This confirms that the scale is a dependable tool for measuring self-regulation levels among students with learning disabilities in upper elementary school.
