  1. Self-Regulation, Self-Efficacy and e-Learning Strategies during e-Learning and Academic Achievement Insook Lee Sejong University AECT 2003 Annual Conference Anaheim, CA. USA 2003. 10.23

  2. Introduction • the maturity of information society. the increase of the demands for distributed learning, lifelong learning, and learner-regulated learning • cyberspace: openness, flexibility, decentralization • the increase of needs for self regulation (Knowles, 1998) • Within the increased flexibility of the new technology, the learning results may vary depending on individual learners’ intellectual competencies and learning preferences(Jacobson & Spiro, 1995; Owston, 1997; Windschitl, 1998).

  3. Introduction • self regulated learning’s impacts on learning processes and learning achievement: • various research evidences • Its impacts are prospected to be stronger in e-learning environment (Hartley & Bendixen, 2001). • But, most research on e-learning simply applies and presupposes the same learning strategies identified and discussed in the traditional face-to-face learning environment. • increased need for reconsideration of self regulated learning roles within e-learning context in a systemic and multidimensional way.

  4. Goals of Study • to examine self-regulated learning strategies(Zimmerman & Martinez-Pons), self-efficacy (Pintrich & DeGroot), and e-learning strategies (Lee) within the e-learning environment • to search for implications for instructional interventions. 1. How are the self-regulated learning strategies, self-efficacy, and e-learning strategies related to student academic achievement within the e-learning environment? 2. What are the relations among self-regulated learning strategies, self-efficacy, and e-learning strategies?

  5. LiteratureReview • meaningful learning : the foremost goal of education • characteristics of meaningful learning: The concept of ‘self-regulated’ is emphasized. • self-regulation: broad and complex concept. Each researcher proposes his/her own concepts and categories according to his/her theoretical background and interests.

  6. LiteratureReview • Zimmerman(1990): explaining self-regulation with the systematic use of meta-cognitive, motivational and behavioral learning strategies • meta-cognitive: practicing of planning, goal setting, organization, self-monitoring, self-evaluation • motivational aspects (Paris, Lipson, & Wixson, 1983; Pintrich & De Groot, 1990) : self-efficacy, self-consequencing, internal task interest, efforts and endurance (Borkowski et. al., 1990; Henderson, 1986; Schunk, 1986; Zimmerman & Martinez-Pons, 1986) • Behavioral aspects: seeking assistance, seeking information, seeking for appropriate learning environment, self instruction, and self reinforcement, etc. (Diaz & Neal, 1992; Henderson, 1986; Rohrkemper, 1989; Zimmerman, 1990; Zimmerman & Martinez-Pons, 1986).

  7. LiteratureReview Time management • considered to be part of resource management (Zimmerman & Martinez-Pons, 1986), part of self-management (Pintrich and DeGroot, 1999) • can deeply influence learning ability • Effective use of learning time is the product of learning strategies such as planning and goal setting (Zimmerman, Greenberg, & Weinstein, 1994).

  8. LiteratureReview Time management: Macan, Shahani, Dipboye, & Phillips (1990) • Time management: multi-dimensional characteristics • Critical relations among time management, learning performance and stress Time management: Delucchi. Rohwer, & Thomas (1987) • Identifying the relations between learning time allocation styles and learning achievement

  9. LiteratureReview Time management: Britton &Tesser (1991) • Time management behavior predicted learning achievement more than IQ (SAT score) did. • College students, time management test, after 4 years, comparing with GPA.

  10. LiteratureReview Time management: Trueman & Hartley (1995) • British college students. applying Britton & Tesser’s research frame(1991). scales of time management and one semester’s GPA • findings in 3 categories different from Britton & Tesser’s • daily planning and long term planning: more outstandingly appeared in this research, comparing to Britton & Tessor’s. • confidence on long term planning: slightly but significantly correlated with various learning outcomes

  11. LiteratureReview Time management: e-learning • E-learning demands learners abilities to operate their own time, to process information, and to plan and manage materials (Hanna, Glowacki-Dudka, & Conceicao-Runlee, 2000). • Self-regulation is emphasized as the critical factors when considering e-learning environment design and instructional strategies. • Burge(1993), Eastmond(1993) • Lee (2000), Lee (2002), Lee (2003) • Jo & Lim (2002)

  12. LiteratureReview Burge (1993): e-learning strategies • Especially choice-making, expression, group interaction, and organization of information Eastmond (1993): e-learning strategies • effective use of the features of multiple discussion, information overload, and text ambiguity • development of strategies required for online information processing • decision of how to contribute to cyber community • transferred strategies from F2F: time management, learning styles, social skills, positive attitudes, goal setting, information seeking, self-confidence

  13. LiteratureReview Lee (2000) : web based e-learning context • college students’ e-learning strategies • expression, information processing, self-regulation, and seeking for human resources Lee (2001): web based e-learning context • adults learners over 20 years old. the relationship between 8 e-learning strategies and learning achievement • time management, self-efficacy, and positive attitude: positively predict learning achievement

  14. LiteratureReview Lee (2002) • gender differences on self-regulated learning in the e-learning context • interaction, information processing, sincerity, and persistence Jo & Lim (2002) • time management : negative predication on learning achievement with the Goal based Scenario e-Learning context

  15. LiteratureReview Melburg and Others(1993) • 800 adults, to develop assessment tools for the distance education context by applying Weinstein’s LASSI • 10 sub variables categories did not appear in the distance education context. Also elements of each sub variable category was not well concordance with LASSI. implications: • Adult learners in distance education environment may have learning needs slightly different from traditional campus based one. • can’t fully assess learning strategies variables in distance or e-learning environment with traditional self-regulated variables only

  16. LiteratureReview Implications of Literature Review: • Not everybody receives the same benefits from self-regulated environment. • Learners need to have self-regulation in learner-controlled environment such as e-learning environment. • high possibilities that self-regulation variables and categories identified in traditional F2F settingsmay have some limitations in understanding self-regulated learning strategies in e-learning environment • Nonetheless, current literature lacks interests on holistic and specific understanding of self-regulation in e-learning environment itself.

  17. Study Methods and Procedures Subjects • randomly selected 77 adult learners who were enrolled in one of the Korea's Digital Distance Universities • varied in terms of the majors, ages, and genders (22 freshmen &55 sophomores; 33 in social sciences, 22 inelectronics and engineering, & 22 inarts; 46 males & 31 females). Age spans: 21∼57 Instruments • Three kinds of questionnaires were employed and each item was designed with 5-point Likert scales. • self-regulated learning strategies by Zimmerman and Martinez-Pons (a 14 Item questionnaire) • self-efficacy by Pintrich and De Groot (a 9 item questionnaire) • e-learning strategies by Lee (a 39-item survey questionnaire)

  18. Study Methods and Procedures Zimmerman & Martinez-Pons’ 14 Self-regulated strategy: • 1) Self-evaluating 2) Organizing & transforming 3) Goal setting & planning 4) Seeking information 6) Environment structuring 7) Self-consequencing 8) Rehearsing & memorizing 9) Seeking assistance Peer/Teacher/Adult, and 10) Reviewing Test/Notes/Texts • Internal consistency in the current study: Cronbach's α=.90

  19. Study Methods and Procedures Pintrich &DeGroot’s (1990) self-efficacy • 9 self-efficacy items from Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ). Originally 7-point Likert scales but revised to 5 points. (Cronbach's α=.89) • Compared with other students in this class I expect to do well. • I’m certain I can understand the idea taught in this course. • I expect to do very well in this class. • Compared with others in this class, I think I’m a good student. • I am sure I can do an excellent job oh the problems and tasks assigned for this class. • I think I will receive a good grade in the class. • My study skills are excellent compared with others in this class • Compared with other students in this class I think I know a great deal about the subject. • I know that I will be able to learn the material for this class.

  20. Study Methods and Procedures Lee (2001) e-learning strategies • 8 sub categories, 39 items, 5 point Likert scale

  21. Study Methods and Procedures Learning Achievement Analysis • individual learner’s one semester GPA (4.3 point scale) • totally 58 courses offered. • midterm, final exam, assignments, and learning activities: varied combinations • more than half of the courses used midterm and final exams only for grading. • 20 courses used attendance rates for grading and in average 10% of the total grade points

  22. Research Findings 1. How are the self-regulated learning strategies, self-efficacy, and e-learning strategies related to student academic achievement within the e-learning environment? • ‘time management’ (Beta =0.55, R=0. 478, p <. 001): the most significant predictor on academic achievement step-wise

  23. Research Findings • In addition, only Lee’s e-learning strategies significantly predicted academic achievement (F=3.37. p=0.03); however, not Zimmerman’s self-regulated learning strategies (F=2.44, P=.123) and Pintrich’s self-efficacy (F=3.51, p=0.065).

  24. Research Findings 2. What are the relations among self-regulated learning strategies, self-efficacy, and e-learning strategies? • positive and moderately high relations among self-regulated learning strategies, self-efficacy, and e-learning strategies e-Learning strategiesself-efficacy Self-regulated learning strategies **p < .01

  25. Research Findings • confirmed in the e-learning environment the close correlation between Zimmerman’s self-regulated learning strategies and Pintrich’s self-efficacy well identified in the traditional learning environment. • Moreover, identified the close correlation between e-learning strategies and self-regulated learning strategies/self-efficacy. • In the contrary, however, group discussion, information processing, and time management within Lee’s e-learning strategies were not associated with self-regulation and self-efficacy (p > 0.05) or slightly associated with. This result indicated that e-learning strategies may not be comprehensively dealt with by the traditional framework of self-regulation and self-efficacy.

  27. Discussion and Conclusion 1. What are the relations among self-regulated learning strategies, self-efficacy, and e-learning strategies? • the higher Zimmerman & Martinez-pons’ self regulation, the higher Pintrich & DeGroot’s self-efficacy, the higher Lee’s e-learningstrategies • in the e-learning environment: • the higher Pintrich & DeGroot’s self efficacy, the higher time management - regular and efficient learning time use, successful use of asynchronous learning environment and potentiality • The better Zimmerman & Martinez-pons’ self-regulation, the better asynchronocity management, information processing, and expression.

  28. Discussion and Conclusion • Positive correlation between Zimmerman &Martinez-pons’ self-regulation and Pintrich & DeGroot’s self-efficacy appears in the e-learning environment too. • But, some strategy variables with no or little relations are identified. What it means? the need for academic efforts to understand and identify specific self-regulation strategies newly appearing or more outstanding in e-learning environment • information interpretation, group discussion, time management, and information overload: high possibility to be ignored in the research framework in F2F environment.

  29. Discussion and Conclusion 2. How are the self-regulated learning strategies, self-efficacy, and e-learning strategies related to academic achievement within the e-learning envirionments? • Various research on time management that can predict learning achievement (Britton & Tesser, 1991; Trueman & Hartley, 1995) or that is correlated with learning achievement (Macan, Shahani, Dipboye, & Phillips, 1990) is confirmed in the current e-learning context. • Confirms various research that time management is the most predicting variable for learning achievement in e-learningenvironment (Lee, 2002; Lee, 2003; Jo & Lim, 2002). • Implies that there would be limitations in supporting self-regulation in e-learning environment if we rely on solely the models and schemes based on F2F environment such as Zimmerman &Martinez-pons’ and Pintrich & DeGroot’s….
