scholarly journals Effect of a metacognitive scaffolding on self-efficacy, metacognition, and achievement in e-learning environments

The object of the present research is to study the effects of a metacognitive scaffolding on metacognition, academic self-efficacy, and learning achievement in students with different cognitive styles in the Field Dependence-Independence (FDI) dimension when learning math content in an e-learning environment. Sixty-seven (67) students of higher education from a public university of Bogotá, Colombia participated in the study. The research has an experimental design with two groups and posttest. One group of students interacted with an e-learning environment, which includes within its structure a metacognitive scaffolding. The other group interacted with an environment without scaffolding. Findings show that the scaffolding promotes significant differences in metacognitive ability, academic self-efficacy, and learning achievement. Similarly, the data show that students with different cognitive styles achieve equivalent learning outcomes.

AbstractToday’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, blended learning, mobile learning, etc., by using teaching technologies. These new technology-based teaching strategies are mainly shaped by decision-makers in education. This study seeks to analyse the individual factors that affect learners’ mode of teaching and learning delivery preferences. In this study, blended and online learning is considered as preferences of learners’ mode of teaching and learning delivery. The individual factors discussed in this research are cognitive learning strategies, e-learning readiness, and motivation. The data were obtained from the pre-service teachers at the end of the academic semester when they experienced online and blended learning. Data were analysed using optimal scaling analysis. The analysis method provides a two-dimensional centroid graph which shows the correlations between the variable categories. According to study findings, there is a correlation between the preferences of the learning environment, and the constructs of self-efficacy, e-learning motivation, and task value. It can be said that the motivational variables are more effective in the learning environment preference. The students with high task value, e-learning motivation, and self-efficacy preferred studying in blended learning environments. Cognitive strategies, self-directed learning, learner control, and test anxiety factors are independent of the learners’ learning delivery preferences.

The objective of this study is to explore the correlation between self-efficacy and learning motivation towards the learning outcomes based on e-learning among the 4th semester students of mathematics education program, Universitas Flores. The research method used in this study was quantitative research with Linear Regression Analysis use of SPPS involving 40 students of the 4th semester randomly chosen. Data were collected through online questionnaire with Google Form. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov analysis and hypothesis testing with Bivariate Pearson Correlation through SPSS were used. The findings showed that self-efficacy (X1) and learning motivation (X2) had a positive impact towards learning outcomes based on e-learning (Y), as a result from the correlation analysis from R for X1 against Y= 0.895 and X2 against Y=0.923, and significant value between X1 and X2 against Y resulted with (**). Therefore, there was a positive influence with 1% significant. In the other words, the more increase or the better the self-efficacy and learning motivation are, the more increase the learning outcomes from the students.

Abstrak: Sesuatu yang dibutuhkan dalam matematika untuk kesuksesan hidup menghendaki lingkungan pembelajaran yang mendukung dan mendorong kompetensi matematika baik secara teori maupun praktik. Dalam pendidikan, mengajar matematika harus dengan cara yang kreatif dan mampu menciptakan suasana lingkungan dimana siswa tertarik untuk belajar matematika. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan hasil belajar matematika melalui implementasi pembelajaran kooperatif dengan model pembelajaran STAD. Metode yang digunakan adalah Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK) dengan 2 siklus, setiap siklus terdiri atas 3 pertemuan. Hasil dari siklus 1  ditemukan bahwa 28 siswa (82.35%)mencapai batas ketuntasan (KKM) dengan rata-rata nilai 80. Pada siklus2, rata-rata nilai mencapai 87 dengan 34 siswa (100%) mencapai batas ketuntasan. Berdasarkan hasil analisis dan diskusi dalam peneilitian ini, dapat disimpulkan bahwa impelentasi pembelajaran kooperatif dengan model pembelajaran STAD dapat meningkatkan hasil belajar matematika.Abstract: The overwhelming need for mathematics comprehension for a successful life requires a learning environment that support and encourages both theoretical and practical math competency. In education, teaching mathematic should be creative and able to provide an environment where students are interested to learn mathematics.This study aimed to improve mathematic learning outcomes through the implementation of cooperative learning type STAD learning model. The method used in this research was a Classroom Action Research by conducting three meeting for each in two cycles. The result of the study in first cycle was found that 28 students (82.35%) meet the school competency with average grade 80. In the second cycle, the average of learning achievement reached 87 with 34 students (100%) meet the school competency. Based on the analysis and discussion of the research, it is concluded that the implementation of cooperative learning type STAD learning model can improve mathematic learning outcomes.

In this article, the study of how a constructivist e-learning system affects students’ learning outcomes was explored and a two-phase study was designed. The first study sought to create a constructivist e-learning environment (CEE) and discover how students expected their learning outcomes under CEE. CEE is composed of three constructs, which are exploration, collaboration, and construction. The statistical results showed the high level of student expectation on every construct. Consequently, constructivist e-learning system (CES) was developed. In the second study, CES was used in the actual classroom environment. The purpose was to compare the learning outcomes and knowledge development of students who studied the course using CES with those of students who learned it under a traditional learning environment. A T-test method was used to analyze the learning outcomes. The results showed that students who used CES had better learning outcomes and knowledge development than students who did not use CES.

The study investigates the relationships between the physical learning environment (PLE), psychological characteristics (students’ academic self-efficacy and satisfaction), and higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) in statistics education. The study also aimed to determine if psychological characteristics mediate the relationships between the PLE and HOTS. A total of 285 students were selected as samples using cluster sampling. The study instruments were adapted from Smart classroom inventory, science laboratory environment inventory, test of science-related attitudes, self-efficacy in learning and performance for college, and dimension of learning rubrics. The gathered data were analysed using Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings revealed that a significant direct relationship existed between PLE and HOTS. Moreover, the PLE also did influence the students’ HOTS indirectly through psychological characteristics (academic self-efficacy and satisfaction). The findings from this study give an important and valuable contribution to knowledge in the area of HOTS research in the context of Malaysian Institution of Higher Learning. The implication of this study suggests that the good quality of PLE in statistics education would influence students’ HOTS directly and also indirectly through the positive development of psychological characteristics in teaching and learning (T&L) process. Keywords: physical learning environment, psychological characteristics, academic self-efficacy, satisfaction, higher-order thinking skills
