How to perceive relations between Individual, Education and Society under 'Self regulated learning' and 'Self-efficacy'

Based on my current understanding, I feel like self-regulated learning is a learning process that requires much effort to control one's own behavior in order to meet external requirements and standards. Even though it mentions lots of utilization of meta-cognition and self-awareness of both tasks and selves, the whole process of self-regulated learning still seems to focus on evaluating oneself so as to fulfill a role in society. However, self-efficacy is part of individuals' belief system which is mainly cultivated by successful experiences in specific domain. Similar to what Lin talks in her post, does the learning success caused by self-regulated learning really promote individuals' self-efficacy? Since considering one's belief system development, there might be many possible ways. In one direction, it might be influenced by external environments and the other direction it might be developed through using one's agency fully to shape external environments. I'm thinking that the possible role of human's agency in these two concepts. Do people could utilize their agency in adapting into existing educational and social system? 

For my parents' generation, most people would seek a permanent job and stay in a city for a life long time. But nowadays, people start moving from one city to another and change their jobs more frequently than the past generation. I'm thinking that how social structure would be affected by this increasing growth of human's fluidity no matter physically or psychologically. What functions of education shall be re-shaped by increasingly transparency of information? In the past, schools might probably the major place to acquire knowledge and information as well as function as a role to maintain existing social structure. However, with the development of information technology, people could obtain knowledge in a more effective way and they may play a role in re-shaping social structure. Thus, relating to individuals' agency and social development, what the role of education should be in the future? Does self-regulated learning meet people's or society's needs from the perspective of transformative learning? Or in what way, it differentiate from self-efficacy in the aspects of individuals' agency, educational purpose and social development?
