-regulated learning in engineering education: exploring effects through Structural Equation ModelingAbstractA long tradition of studies in both psychology and sociology has shown that social ties havepositive effects on mental well-being of both the population in general and in educationalcontexts in particular. Specifically, researchers argue that mental well-being is systematicallyrelated to students' academic self-regulation. However, it is not clear how these three constructsare related, and what direct and indirect effects may exist from social ties to academic self-regulation. In the context of engineering education, this question is especially relevant becausethe literature has documented gaps in the formation of ties of minority social

-assessments.Despite the benefits of self-assessments to the students, researchers are of the opinion thatstudents' subjective views about their abilities could negatively affect their learning [12]. In astudy by Baisley [11], students’ scores were found to be different to instructor scores fiftypercent of the time in an engineering mechanics course. In addition, self-assessments can berestrictive when the ultimate goal of the instructor is to teach to the test [13].Although Shuman and colleagues [12] studied the perceptions of undergraduate student’sperception toward self-assessment, no study has considered the alignment of instructors andstudents’ perceptions of self-assessment in the context of engineering education.
