This study investigates the learning techniques and strategies employed by pedagogy students and explores the implications for their self-regulated learning (SRL). Effective learning strategies are crucial for academic success, particularly in demanding fields like pedagogy, where future educators must cultivate their own learning skills to effectively guide others. The research examines the frequency and types of learning strategies used, factors influencing strategy selection, and the relationship between strategy use and SRL. The findings provide insights into how pedagogy programs can better support the development of effective learning practices and enhance students' SRL abilities.
