This study aims to explore the role of student self-regulation in understanding English reading at Danul Hikmah Pekanbaru MTS. Using a quantitative research design with a correlational descriptive approach, the study involved 46 students selected through stratified random sampling techniques out of a total population of 143 students. The research instruments included a questionnaire to measure self-regulation and standard tests to measured reading understanding. The data collection process begins with validity and reliability testing of instruments through pretests, followed by primary data collection. The data analysis was performed using SPSS version 25, using descriptive statistics to summarize data and Pearson correlations to test the relationship between self-regulation and reading understanding. The results of the analysis showed a significant positive correlation between student self-regulation and their English reading understanding score. The Pearson Correlation Coefficient of 0.849 indicates a strong relationship, where a higher level of self-Regulation is associated with a better understanding of reading. These results emphasize the importance of developing self-regulation skills in students to improve their academic performance in reading. Therefore, teaching strategies that facilitate the development of self-regulation can make a positive contribution to learning outcomes. These findings recommend the application of educational interventions that focus on the development of self-regulation to improve student reading understanding and, ultimately, their overall academic performance.

The purpose of this study is to examine how students' self-efficacy relates to and influences their gender-based mathematical problem-solving. 36 students taking an applied mathematics course are involved in this study, which uses a descriptive methodology. Test problems and a self-efficacy questionnaire are among the study tools utilized. The independent sample t-test is the data analysis technique used to evaluate gender-based differences in mathematical self-efficacy. Pearson correlation is used to examine the relationship between students' self-efficacy and their capacity to solve applied mathematics problems, and simple linear regression is used to assess how self-efficacy levels affect students' capacity for problem-solving. The results from the independent sample t-test indicate that there are no significant differences in mathematical self-efficacy between male and female students in the Applied Mathematics class. Additionally, there are also no significant differences between the problem-solving abilities of male and female students. Pearson correlation analysis shows a strong positive relationship between self-efficacy and the ability to solve mathematical problems. Furthermore, the results of simple linear regression confirm that self-efficacy has a substantial contribution (95.6%) to problem-solving abilities in mathematics. Other factors also play a role, but to a lesser extent
