Abstract
The aim of the study was to investigate whether self-regulated learners are developed in Grade 8 mathematics classrooms. The research was conducted at Khula High School, which is situated at Magabheni, near Umkomaas in Kwa-Zulu Natal. Qualitative
research approach was adopted for the study. Data was collected through the observation of one Grade 8 mathematics class. A total of eight mathematics lessons were observed and a semi-structured interview was conducted with the mathematics teacher. The
