The main objective of this study was to evaluate the learning of Brazilian university students, exploring both selfregulation variables, such as study techniques; and more external regulation variables, namely, satisfaction with the teaching–learning process and with the infrastructure, based on three variables: gender, the institution of higher education and the academic year of the students. To achieve this, 560 students of the Pedagogy degree were evaluated with two questionnaires: a questionnaire of satisfaction with the educational infrastructure and the teaching–learning process and a questionnaire on study techniques. Statistically significant differences were obtained, especially depending on the type of institution and the academic year. The students of private schools and earlier academic years were the ones who obtained the most satisfaction with the study techniques and with the infrastructure. Those from private centers also expressed more satisfaction with the teaching–learning processes. These results provide greater knowledge about the processes of self-regulation and external regulation of university learning and of their satisfaction with them, which can contribute to improving educational policies in Brazil.}, organization = {Research Group Development, Education, Diversity, and Culture: Interdisciplinary Analysis (HUM-742)}, organization = {Federal University of Maranhão and the Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa e ao Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico do Maranhão (Foundation for Research Support and Scientific and Technological Development of Maranhão)}, publisher = {MDPI}, keywords = {Self-regulation}, keywords = {External regulation}, keywords = {Study techniques}, keywords = {Teaching-learning processes}, keywords = {Educational infrastructure}, keywords = {Type of institution}, keywords = {Academic Year}, title = {Satisfaction with Self and External Regulation of Learning in Higher Education Students in Brazil}, doi = {10.3390/ijerph18115914}, author = {Herrera Torres, Lucía and Souza Soares de Quadros, Mara Rachel and Sánchez Sánchez, Laura del Carmen and Ramiro Sánchez, Tamara}, }
