The purpose of this study was to identify the nature of factor structure for self- regulating learning in light of Pintrich model and levels of self- regulating learningin students ( females and males ) . In addition to identify the affect the tow – ways interaction between the gender and scientific specialization on the degree of self- regulating learning among students ( females and males ) in Imam university .The sample of the study consisted of ( 362 ) students ( 168 males ) and ( 194 females ) selected from the Imam university . To collect the data , the self- regulating learning scale was applied . To investigate the hypothesis of thestudy , The means , standard deviation , analysis of variance and factor analysis were applied . The major findings of the study may be summarized as follows: 1- The three variables ( cognitive strategies ,meta cognition strategies and strategies for managing resources ) are sufficient on one factor . 2- There are the statistically significant differences between males and females in the degree of two variables ( cognitive strategies and strategies for managing resources ) in favor of females . Whereas there are not the statistically significant differences between males and females in the degree of met cognition strategies. 3- There are the statistically significant differences according to scientific specialization ( literary and scientific specializations ) in the degree of two variables metacognition strategies andstrategies for managing resources) in faror of and scientific specializations whereas there are the statistically significant differences in cognitive strategies.
