Self-regulation skill is among factors that are expected to help students manage their behavior better. A module called IDEA-i was built to help students develop student’s self-regulation skills. This module contains 15 activities covering aspects of self-regulation and behavior management skills. In general, this study aims to determine the effectiveness of the IDEA-i module on students’ behavior management skills. This study used a non-equivalent control group design. A total of 124 Form Four students in secondary schools in Malaysia were involved in the study. Students in the experimental group (n = 64) were exposed to IDEA-i by facilitator who have been trained to use the module prior to the intervention.
