It is well-known that self-regulation is one of the most prominent factors that influences success in learning. prior research suggested not only a new method in the measurement but also an intervention to develop it. the main aim of this research introduced online questionnaire and validated it. this questionnaire is part of redi-space,a self-regulation website. self-regulation cannot be seen as a single variable but it correlates with other variables such as emotional support and achievement motivation. thus,in the development of indonesian self-regulation scales for adolescence (isrsa),researcher determines five variables as its contents. this study focused on the validation of two scales (namely,emotional support and achievement motivation scale self-report questionnaire) given to students at one university in their first and second year of studies. scales consisting of 20-item and 24-item were developed for emotional support and achievement motivation,respectively. confirmatory factor analysis and test-retest reliability were demonstrated to analyse the data. from a group of numbered participants (n=216),there were strong internal consistency,discriminant validity and construct validity. further research involving other universities can enrich the data to reach a better generalisation. © universiti putra malaysia press.
