This study examined the self-regulated learning level of 5-6-year-old preschool children in the Chinese context, and analyzed the differences in the self-regulated learning level of preschool children in terms of gender and monthly age. The study adopted a random sampling survey method, and the participants were 5-6-year-old children in private kindergartens in Liaocheng City, Shandong Province. SPSS 27 was used to analyze the collected data. The results showed that the self-regulated learning of 5-6-year-old preschool children was at an upper-middle level, and in each dimension, the motivational strategy level was better than the metacognitive strategy level and better than the cognitive strategy level. The data showed that boys performed better in self-regulated learning than girls, and older children performed better in self-regulated learning than younger children, but there was no significant difference. Finally, this paper also proposed strategies to improve children's self-regulated learning skills.
