Introduction:
Especially for teacher education students, competencies in self-regulated learning are of great importance: for their own learning during their studies, as well as for the diagnosis and support of their future students. This study aims to investigate the competencies and developmental potentials (currently low-developed areas that hold the potential for improvement) of these students' self-regulated learning processes.
Methods:
Data from N = 240 teacher education students regarding the preaction, action, and postaction parameters of the self-regulated learning process were analyzed.
Results:
Through latent profile analysis (LPA), five self-regulated learning profiles were extracted and labeled as follows: process-oriented competent, preaction-volitional competent, action-cognitive competent, repetitive-low reflective, and avoiding-unreflective. The profiles were validated by learning success and goal orientation. Higher-competency profiles demonstrated better learning success and more favorable goal orientations than lower-competency profiles.
Discussion:
The person-centered approach of this study can help develop differentiated interventions based on learning profiles to promote self-regulated learning competencies in teacher education students, ensuring that interventions can be designed as efficiently as possible. Further potentials and limitations of the approach are discussed.

Cognitive Learning
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
