Previous studies indicated there was a difference in goal orientations and learning strategies between adult and traditional learners. However, limited studies investigated the relationship between achievement goal orientations (AGO) and self‐regulated learning (SRL) between adult and traditional learners. Hence, the current study examined the different levels in AGO and SRL between adult and traditional learners, and the relationship between student status, AGO, and SRL. A total number of 469 students participated in the study, including 228 traditional learners and 240 adult learners. Results indicated that adult learners had higher levels of mastery‐approach goal orientation, while traditional students had higher levels of performance‐avoidance goal orientation. Additionally, mastery approach goal orientation is usually positively linked with both adult and traditional learners’ self‐regulated learning strategies, whereas performance avoidance goal orientation is negatively linked with metacognitive self‐regulation and effort regulation strategies.

成人和传统学习者的成就目标定向和自我调节的学习策略

先前的研究表明，成人学习者和传统学习者在目标定向和学习策略上存在差异。但是，有限的研究调查了成年学习者和传统学习者之间的成就目标定向（AGO）与自我调节学习（SRL）之间的关系。因此，本研究调查了成人和传统学习者之间在AGO和SRL方面的不同水平，以及学生身份，AGO和SRL之间的关系。共有469名学生参加了这项研究，其中包括228名传统学习者和240名成人学习者。结果表明，成年学习者的掌握方法目标定向水平较高，而传统学生则有避免表现的目标定向水平较高。此外，
