%X <strong>Background</strong>: University and college students are the driving force of the sustainability of the future, and their level of self-regulated learning will directly affect their ability to develop sustainably. However, for the current Chinese private college students, they have been used to cramming teach-ing, and it is difficult for them to change from passiveness to positiveness at once, so it is necessary for educators to study and guide the self-regulated learning among Chinese private college students. <strong>Methods</strong>: This study explores the relationship among self-efficacy, task value and self-regulated learning. In total, 343 freshmen from a selected Chinese col-lege completed a questionnaire to report on their self-efficacy, task value and self-regulated learning. Data analysis was performed by mean, stand-ard deviation, Pearson correlation analysis, linear regression analysis and structural equation modeling (SEM). <strong>Results</strong>: Results from Pearson corre-lation and linear regression analysis illustrated that both self-efficacy and task value were significant predictors of self-regulated learning. SEM con-firmed the mediating role of task value between self-efficacy and self-regulated learning. However, the results also revealed that task value played a partial mediating role between self-efficacy and self-regulated learning. <strong>Conclusio</strong><strong>n</strong>: The implication of this study is that self-efficacy and task value can be used to improve students¡¯ self-regulated learning, and in order to achieve sustainable change, further actions should be carried out to have a greater impact on long-term development. Finally, this study puts forward three suggestions for improving Chinese private college students¡¯ self-regulated learning and also makes theoretical and practical contribu-tions to academic research in this field. <br />
