From the Paper:

"In self-regulated learning, students combine the functions of motivation, cognitive strategies, and metacognition to support their way to make achievements. To achieve educational goals, self-regulated learners have the ability to recognize what they aim, what it takes to accomplish a goal, the process they need to go through, and the control of endurance in their whole efforts. Besides those factors, regulation of motivation also plays an important role in self-regulated learning. Motivation is important to provide the foundation to start the learning and achieving process. Motivation can be viewed as "product" or "process" (Winne & Mark, 1989 in Wolters, 2003). Wolters states, as a product, motivation means "willingness to persist in a task". As a "process", students experience different levels of motivation from many causes and conditions."
