Study 1: In experts’ words: Translating theory to practice for teaching self-regulated learning

Data were analysed using an iterative thematic approach guided by a six-step framework. The dataset accompanying this descriptor contains two files. Datafiles • Study1_Dataverse_Deidentified.docx: De-identified qualitative data derived from the final thematic analysis.

The file contains the final coding structure and coded interview quotations grouped by code/theme. It does not contain full interview transcripts. Original participant labels, source filenames, ATLAS.ti references, and potentially identifying contextual details were removed or generalised; quotation identifiers are repository-specific and are not linked to the original participant numbers. • Study 1_Interview guide.doc: Semi-structured interview guide used for data collection.

It includes the study introduction, working definitions of SRL and complex skills, the interview questions, and the closing script. The guide was adapted from Savin-Baden and Howell Major (2013).
