It was not known if, or to what extent, there was a statistically significant difference in intrinsic motivation, self-efficacy, and self-regulated learning (SRL) between degree-seeking adult learners who passed versus those who failed, were at-risk of failing, or dropped their most recent online mathematics course in the United States. The…

The designs of many student-facing learning analytics (SFLA) dashboards are insufficiently informed by educational research and lack rigorous evaluation in authentic learning contexts, including during remote laboratory practical work. In this article, we present and evaluate an SFLA dashboard designed using the principles of formative assessment…

Purpose: This study addresses gaps in the existing literature on students' understanding of Independent Learning (IL), whilst exploring the link between levels of IL, growth mindset, motivated strategies for learning and academic performance. Design/methodology/approach: Three hundred and eighty-six university students recruited via opportunistic…

The purpose of this quantitative causal comparative study is to understand if there are significant differences in levels of intrinsic goal orientation, task value and effort regulation between online undergraduate and graduate students as well as students studying in education and business programs at a university based in Phoenix, Arizona. It is…

Self-regulated learning (SRL) plays a significant role in promoting academic success in online education. In recent years, attention has focused on using new techniques to promote SRL--one of which is the recommender system. However, there has been little discussion of the actual effects of using recommender systems to facilitate SRL skills among…

Students' skilful use of self-regulatory learning strategies is becoming fundamental to the advent of blog-based learning. Moreover, the use of Interaction Analysis (IA) in studying the learning dynamics in Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) activities is on the increase, particularly aiming to support participants by means of IA…

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between motivation profiles and self-regulation in online students and self-regulation as a predictor of affective learning outcomes, depending on students' motivation profiles. A total of 556 online preservice teachers participated in this study at a university in the United States of…

This study aims to determine whether university students' levels of online self-regulated learning, online technologies self-efficacy, and motivated strategies for learning predict their general academic achievement and online academic achievement. In this study, the scanning design and the prediction research design were used. The participants of…

Over the past 2 decades, the number of adult learners seeking an online education has dramatically increased, but student retention and degree completion rates for adult students are lower than those of other student populations. Research has shown that adult learners working full time achieve at higher levels than adult learners who are not…

In the spring semester of 2020, all Chinese higher education institutions delivered courses online across the nation in response to the COVID-19. This study explores Chinese college students' self-regulated learning, academic entitlement, and academic achievement during the transitioning from face-to-face to online learning environments during…

Little is known about the intraindividual dispositional factors related to cognitive, behavioral, and emotional academic learning outcomes under COVID-19. This study investigated (i) the associations of intraindividual factors, some related to studying (motivation to learn, self-regulated learning, and study resilience), others more general (soft…

Despite rapid growth in online enrollment within higher education, persistence and completion rates remain lower for online courses than face-to-face courses. This discrepancy between the two modalities indicates a need to better understand students' self-regulated learning (SRL) within online learning environments. Students with higher SRL skills…

The paper intended to investigate adult students' Internet self-efficacy, self-regulation, and performance in online learning environments. The relationships between these variables and the effect of student characteristics on Internet self-efficacy and self-regulation were explored. The participants of this study were African American students…

The study examined student utilization and application of learning strategies in college level online courses and the context was a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) in the Southwest. Even though online courses continue to grow at a steady pace, few research studies have taken the task to analyze the utilization of learning strategies and their…

Today's educational institutions are expected to create learning opportunities independent of time and place, to offer easily accessible learning environments and interpersonal communication opportunities. Accordingly, higher education institutions develop strategies to meet these expectations through teaching strategies, such as e-learning,…
