This review analyzes six models of self-regulated learning (SRL) and proposes four directions for future research. The models include Zimmerman, Boekaerts, Winne and Hadwin, Pintrich, Efklides, and Hadwin, Järvelä, and Miller. Each model is examined in terms of its history, description, empirical support, and instruments. The models are then compared in aspects such as citations, phases, conceptualization of cognition, motivation, and emotion, and context. The review discusses empirical evidence from existing SRL meta-analyses and highlights implications for education. Four future research directions are proposed. The review concludes that SRL models form an integrative and coherent framework for research and teaching. Additionally, there are differential effects of SRL models based on students' developmental stages or educational levels. Scholars and teachers should apply these differential effects to enhance students' learning and SRL skills. Keywords: self-regulated learning, self-regulation, metacognition, socially shared regulated learning, shared regulation of learning, motivation regulation, emotion regulation, learning strategies.This review analyzes six models of self-regulated learning (SRL) and proposes four directions for future research.
