Purpose – At the beginning of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic affected many aspects of life, including education. In response, the Indonesian government mandated all educational institutions, including universities, to implement online learning. Through online learning, many university students experienced considerable changes in the way they regulated their knowledge-seeking process. This research examined the level of EFL university students' self-regulated learning during their online learning activities for an English academic writing course, as well as the difficulties encountered and strategies developed in the online learning context. Methodology – This research employed a convergent mixed-method research design by adapting the Online Self-Regulated Learning Questionnaire (Barnard et al., 2009) and an open-ended questionnaire to discover the students' difficulties and strategies during online learning. The study involved 307 students of the English 3 (Academic Writing) course at President University, Indonesia. Descriptive statistics were employed to analyse the quantitative data sets, while the qualitative data sets were systematically coded and thematically analysed. Findings – The statistical analysis indicated that the students had a medium level of self-regulated learning skills. The qualitative analysis revealed that in the context of online self-regulated learning, the issues they faced included technical, material, time management, study space, and motivation issues. At the same time, the students attempted to alleviate these issues by improving collaboration and time management, and adopting technical, academic, and affective strategies. Significance – By exploring the level of students' self-regulated learning skills, this study provides insights for universities and lecturers into students’ ability to regulate their learning in an online learning context. Additionally, this study has identified the difficulties students face in the online learning process and their strategies to overcome these issues, which can practically inform educational institutions about the necessary support that should be provided to facilitate students' self-regulated learning skills in the online learning context.

Generally considered as a prevalent occurrence in academic settings, procrastination was analyzed in association with constructs such as self-efficacy, self-esteem, anxiety, stress, and fear of failure. This study investigated the role played by self-regulated learning strategies in predicting procrastination among university students. To this purpose, the relationships of procrastination with cognitive and metacognitive learning strategies and time management were explored in the entire sample, as well as in male and female groups. Gender differences were taken into account due to the mixed results that emerged in previous studies. This cross-sectional study involved 450 university students (M = 230; F = 220; Mage = 21.08, DS = 3.25) who completed a self-reported questionnaire including a sociodemographic section, the Tuckman Procrastination Scale, the Time Management Scale, and the Metacognitive Self-Regulation and Critical Thinking Scales. Descriptive and inferential analyses were applied to the data. The main findings indicated that temporal and metacognitive components play an important role in students’ academic achievement and that, compared to females, males procrastinate more due to poor time management skills and metacognitive strategies. Practical implications were suggested to help students to overcome their dilatory behavior.

And Performance

Despite providing advanced coursework online to learners around the world, massive open online courses (MOOCs) have had notoriously low completion rates. Self-regulated learning (SRL) frames strategies that students can use to enhance motivation and promote their engagement, persistence, and performance self-monitoring. Understanding which SRL subprocesses are most relevant to the MOOC learning context can guide course designers and instructors on how to incorporate key SRL aspects into the design and delivery of MOOCs. Through surveying 643 MOOC students using the Online Self-Regulated Learning Questionnaire (OSLQ), the present study sought to understand the differences in the use of SRL between those who completed their course and those who did not. MOOC completers were found to have significantly higher applications of one SRL specific subprocess, namely goal setting. Additional SRL subprocesses of task interest/values, causal attribution, time management, self-efficacy, and goal-orientation also emerged from an analysis of open-ended responses as key contributors to course completion. The findings from this study provide further support regarding the role of SRL in MOOC student performance and offer insight into learners’ perceptions on the importance of SRL subprocesses in reaching course completion.

The teaching and learning process has shifted online since the outbreak of COVID-19 in Indonesia. Students have had to adapt to the new situation. Thus, it is necessary to explore their self-efficacy and self-regulated learning. The objective of this paper is twofold: 1) to describe the profiles of students’ online learning self-efficacy and students’ online self-regulated learning; and 2) to investigate the relationship between self-efficacy and self-regulated learning in online learning among university students during the COVID-19 pandemic. This quantitative study included a sample (n = 260) of university students enrolled in an accounting education study program. First, the study found that students exhibit a high level of online learning self-efficacy and online self-regulated learning. Second, the results of this study revealed a strong positive correlation between students’ online self-efficacy and online self-regulated learning (r = 0.67, p < 0.0005). This indicates that students’ high levels of online self-efficacy are correlated with their high levels of online self-regulated learning.

The Impact

One of the main challenges in higher education is promoting students' autonomous and self-regulated learning, which involves managing their own emotions and learning processes in different contexts and circumstances. Considering that online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic may be an opportunity for university students to take greater responsibility for their learning, it is essential to explore the strategies they have developed in the face of emotional and learning challenges during the health crisis. This study aimed at analyzing the relationships between students' emotions, coping strategies, and self-regulated learning in online learning during COVID-19 home confinement. The participants were 1,290 Mexican students from different universities throughout the country, who answered an online self-report questionnaire from standardized instruments adapted to the pandemic. Data were analyzed with descriptive and inferential analyses, including a structural equation model (SEM). Findings indicate that, although anxiety, boredom, and frustration were present among participants during confinement, the primary emotions were gratitude, joy, and hope. Second, the main coping strategies used by students participating were focused on facing and reassessing the situation. Furthermore, tranquility, hope, gratitude, and joy were positively related to self-regulated learning, although, loneliness and disinterest were negatively related. Finally, it was found that an approach to coping strategies mediated the relationship between emotions and self-regulated learning. Thus, teachers should help students understand the relevance of active coping strategies and use student-centered learning models that promote autonomous and self-regulated learning, considering each learner's needs, during and after confinement.

Abstract: Teachers have an important role in promoting the development of metacognition and self-regulated learning in students. This study aims to reveal the beliefs and practices of preuniversity teachers regarding the best teaching strategies that can be used in the classroom to facilitate the development of students' metacognition and self-regulated learning skills. Teachers from pre-primary and school levels (ISCED 02-3) (International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED) - Statistics Explained (europa.eu) participated in this research. Participants, 120 teachers, had to filled in an online form of the adapted version of the 'Self-Regulated Learning Opportunities Questionnaire', developed by Vrieling, Bastiaens, and Stijnen (2012), and to answer three open-ended questions. The questionnaire assessed the extent to which teachers use the following two strategies to promote metacognition and self-regulated learning in their classroom: planning (including goal-setting, metacognitive knowledge activation, task value activation, and time management) and monitoring of the learning process (including metacognitive awareness and monitoring of cognition). The open-ended questions aimed to reveal the participants' opinions about the best teaching practices that facilitate the development of metacognition and selfregulated skills of students, the factors that hinder the development of these skills and how teachers can promote self-regulated learning in their classrooms. Data were analyzed using the SPSS software for the quantitative data, and the thematic-analysis for the qualitative ones. Results show that teachers create some opportunities for students to develop their self-regulated learning skills, but face various problems in trying to develop these skills in the classroom context. The results of this study are discussed in relation to both classroom and school contexts, and the broader level of educational policies.

This study investigated the intervention of a weekly learning diary on design students’ self-regulated learning in an online learning environment. A total of 54 undergraduate students from an intermediate and an advanced course respectively participated in this study. In a 7-week period of online learning, the students had to complete a course project on their own. Synchronous online learning with the Microsoft Teams program was adopted for students to have real-time learning as well as recordings for after-class reviewing. The results revealed that the structured weekly diary was helpful for the students’ goal setting, time management, self-monitoring, and self-evaluation. Students with clear strategies of time management mostly had better performance. The students had an upward trend of self-monitoring and self-evaluation. Regarding their self-efficacy, the freshman class did not change greatly over time but the senior class steadily built up confidence in online learning and self-regulated learning. Nevertheless, the process and experiences of online self-regulated learning with the intervention of the learning diary influenced the design students to a certain degree.

Assessment Techniques

During online learning in Covid-19 outbreak, self-regulation is needed more due to the different learning situation and distance between student and teacher. One of the ways to support student self-regulated learning in EFL classes is through the implementation of formative assessment. The aim of this study is to find out the formative assessment that EFL teachers use in online learning and how they perceive the role of formative assessment in supporting students’ self-regulated learning. To get the data, questionnaire adapted from Gan et al. (2019); Pat-El et al. (2013) was utilized. Interviews also were conducted to get deeper understanding about the findings obtained through questionnaire. The findings revealed that during online learning, EFL teachers used a variety of formative assessment techniques, using online platforms that were easy to use. They agreed that students need to have self-regulated learning skills during online learning. However, some of them did not know for sure that the formative assessment they conducted could enhance students’ self-regulated learning since only some students submitted their work. Further research can be done to find out strategies to implement formative assessment using technologies or tools utilized in online learning where the students can get immediate feedback and use it to help them improve their learning.

Background Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) is defined as the adjustment of the individual's affective, meta-cognitive, and behavioral operations during learning to attain the desired level of academic achievement. It is an important skill for undergraduate students and its ignorance cause anxious behavior, a sense of potential failure, and avoidance of learning situations. Objective The objective of the study was to explore the pattern of SRL among medical students from a student perspective aiming to recognize the learning context and to provide recommendations for future support strategies. Methods This is a cross-sectional study that targeted a total coverage of medical students at the University of Tabuk, Saudi Arabia using a Self-Regulated Learning Questionnaire which composed of six constructs, namely: environment structuring, goal setting, time management, help-seeking, task strategies, and self-evaluation. An independent-samples test, ANOVA, and post-hoc analysis were conducted.   Results Females agreed on regular practice of the four domains namely: "environmental structuring, time management, help-seeking, and self-evaluation", mean scores: 3.7(SD=1.023), 3.42(SD=1.035), 3.68(SD=0.99), 3.54(SD=0.94) respectively. Conclusion This study identified a remarkable difference in SRL among undergraduate medical students. Females outperformed males in self-regulation; however, both genders in the second year have shown a low level in self-regulation in comparison to fifth year medical students.

Abstract BackgroundUniversities have been working to adopt more flexible approaches to teaching and learning. New approaches have been accelerated by the coronavirus pandemic whereby university nursing programs have moved more learning into online environments to continue delivering education and supporting nursing students to progress in their study. However, there is significant evidence to suggest that many students remain comfortable with traditional methods of learning. Nursing students in particular prefer to learn by experience and reflection. An important attribute for online learning is related to students' self-regulated learning (SRL) skills. The aim of the study was to explore nursing students' SRL readiness for online learning environments. MethodsA convenience sample of one hundred and fifty undergraduate nursing students who were enrolled in the first year of nursing program participated in an online survey. The survey instrument was a Self-Directed Learning Instrument which had previously been used to measure the students' readiness for self-regulated learning.ResultsResults indicated that students were motivated to improve in their learning and enjoyed finding answers to questions. They also agreed that they continued learning even when they faced difficulties. In contrast, they often did not know what they had to learn; they struggled to manage their learning time, find learning resources, monitor their progress, and self-evaluate their learning outcomes. ConclusionsProviding opportunities to develop nursing students' metacognition is important. Activities such as goal setting and planning, developing time management and assessment strategies, and making explicit support channels for online learning, as well as providing opportunities for self-reflection and self-evaluation strategies to enhance SRL can support this.
