This document contains the results of a qualitative research whose purpose was centered on the comparison of the results obtained through a self-report questionnaire called Test Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) (Printich et al., 1991). This comparison sought to investigate the most effective way to get certain characteristic elements in three students as self-efficacy, use of cognitive strategies, metacognitive and resource management that have or use when faced with a learning environment based on the web. The technique used in the comparison is called verbal protocol (Newell and Simon, 1972). Through which it was possible to identify three learning paths, which allowed visualization of how self-regulated was the student in the learning process. Further comparison of the verbal protocols made it possible to demonstrate the improvement of student achievement when it uses a fixed metacognitive scaffolding.
