English Education Master Students’ Self-Regulated Learning Strategies in Academic Writing Kristian Florensio Wijaya Sanata Dharma University, Yogyakarta [email protected]     Abstract There is a propensity for language teachers to handicap graduate students as independent, competent and strategic academic writers. Therefore, it is easier to discover graduate students struggling intensely to produce and publish qualified academic writing products to targeted journal articles. Due to this ubiquitous fact, self-regulated learning strategies need to be entrenched potently within L2 academic writers to enable them to become more mindful, resourcefulness, autonomous, and proficient academicians who excel in their subject-specific fields. This was a small-scale qualitative study implementing qualitative content analysis to obtain a more obvious portrayal regarding some specific phenomena taken place in one particular circumstance. To fulfill this objectivity, two research instruments were utilized in this study namely the Likert-scale Questionnaire and interview protocols to maintain the robustness of the data gathering processes. 15 English Education Master Students together with 3 selected interviewees were also invited to fill out the questionnaire and participate in the interview activities. In line with the gathered data, the qualitative results revealed that the majority of English Education Master Students have transformed into more life-long and proficient academic L2 writers for they continuously showed greater resilience, efforts, commitment to accomplish various academic writing projects.    Keywords: Self-regulated learning strategies, academic writing, qualitative content analysis, academic L2 writers

Volunteer Mentors

Purpose This paper aims to understand what drives people – their motivations, autonomous learning attitudes and learning interests – to volunteer as mentors for a program that helps families to ideate technological solutions to community problems. Design/methodology/approach A three-phase method was used to build volunteer mentor profiles; elicit topics of interest and establish relationships between those. The mentor profiles were based on self-assessments of motivation, attitude toward lifelong learning and self-regulated learning strategies. The topics of interest were elicited through content analysis of answers to reflection questions. Statistical methods were applied to analyze the relationship between the interests and the mentor profiles. Findings Bottom-up clustering led to the identification of three mentor groups (G1 “low”; G2 “high” and G3 “medium”) based on pre-survey data. While content analysis led to identifying topics of interest: communication skills; learning AI; mentoring; prototype development; problem-solving skills; working with families. Analyzing relationships between mentor profile and the topics of interest, the group G3 “medium,” with strong intrinsic motivation, showed significantly more interest in working with families. The group with the overall highest scores (G2 “high”) evidenced also substantial interest in learning about AI, but with high variability between members of the group. Originality/value The study established different types of learning interests of volunteer mentors and related them to the mentor profiles based on motivation, self-regulated learning strategies and attitudes toward lifelong learning. Such knowledge can help organizations shape the volunteering experience to provide more value to volunteers. Furthermore, the reflection questions can be used by volunteers as an instrument for reflection and by organizations to elicit the learning interests of volunteers.

Motivation And Learning

The purpose of this study is to discover possible relationships between self-regulated learning with graduate students’ academic performance. Eighty graduate students from the Learning Sciences Programme and Human Resources Programme at Faculty of Cognitive Sciences and Human Development were randomly selected.  Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (Pintrich, 1991) was piloted and administered. First, the questionnaire was undergone the back-to-back translation (into Malay language version).  Two variables that involved in this study were motivation and learning strategies. Academic performance measured to be dependent variable which is the graduate students’ current CGPA.   Findings show that there is no relation between motivation and learning strategies with academic performance. Future recommendations are also discussed in this study.

Este artigo objetiva averiguar, com base em uma revisão sistemática de literatura, o investimento em estratégias de ensino e aprendizagem autorregulada em cursos de Licenciatura em Geografia. Os dados foram coletados nas bases de dados Scientific Electronic Library Online, Red de Revistas Cientificas de America Latina y el Caribe, España y Portugal e na Plataforma Sucupira da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior em periódicos da Geografia com classificação Qualis A1, A2 e B1 dos últimos cinco anos. A busca pelos trabalhos teve como resultado o total de 154 artigos. Destes, apenas 25 tratavam especificamente da formação inicial de professores e, dentre estes, apenas 8 atendiam às demandas da pesquisa. Os resultados revelaram a necessidade de mais investimento em programas de intervenção em estratégias de aprendizagem e a necessidade de pesquisas futuras que disseminem na Geografia a temática da autorregulação.
