The present study attempts to investigate the impact of developing and implementing Web-Bared Self-Regulated Learning Models in real school contexts for a relatively long period on self-regulated learning (SRL) ability. The conceptual model for the present study draws draws upon previous studies on self-regulated learning, especially a research model developed by Yang(ZOOO), which consists of three dimensions (cognitive regulation, motivational regulation, behavioral regulation) and eight component variables (the use of cognitive strategies, the use of metacognitive strategies, mastery goal orientation, self-efficacy, achievement value, action control, help-seeking, academic time-management). For the purpose, the study compares students in Web-Based Self-Regulated Learning environments with students in traditional learning environments regarding on the SRL ability, three dimensions, and component variables. Data was collected using SRL instrument from 374 students of the 5-6th grades of 5 elementary schools in rural and urban areas and analyzed by t-test and multivariate analysis. The results are summarized as follows; Above all, there are significant differences between the students with Web-based SRL model and the students with traditional learning methods regarding on the SRL ability, three dimensions, and component variables, except action control In addition, there are significant differences in SRL ability, three dimensions, and component variables, except action control, between the students with Web-based SRL model and the students with traditional learning methods in rural as well as urban area. In conclusion, the results of the present study provide the empirical evidence of the effects of developing and implementing Web-based SRL models in real school contexts and also identify the fact that students`` SRL abilities can be enhanced by their experiences of active engagement in SRL environment such as Web-based SRL.
