Role models are key to the development of self -regulation skills. The study aimed to develop a model that shows the relationship between high school students' role -modeling perceptions and self -regulation skills. In the study, the predictive correlation design of the quantitative research method was used. The study sample consisted of 362 high school students studying at a public high school and agreeing to participate in the research. The research data were collected with the "Perceived Role Models Scale" and the "Self -regulation Scale for Science". As a result, a model was developed showing that the reproduction, retention, and motivation dimensions of high school students' role modeling perceptions were statistically significant predictors of science selfregulation. This result proved that role models were important in developing high school students' self -regulation skills. Therefore, it could be argued that the development of self -regulation that begins at an early age is a lifelong process. The results of the study can be a reference point for research that will examine the relationship between the sub -dimensions of self -regulation and role modeling perception in depth.
