abstract |
Massive open online courses (MOOCs) require individual learners to be able to self-regulate
their learning, determining when and how they engage. However, MOOCs attract a diverse
range of learners, each with different motivations and prior experience. This study
investigates the self-regulated learning (SRL) learners apply in a MOOC, in particular
focusing on how learners' motivations for taking a MOOC influence their behaviour
and employment of SRL strategies. Following a quantitative investigation of the learning
behaviours of 788 MOOC participants, follow-up interviews were conducted with 32 learners.
The study compares the narrative descriptions of behaviour between learners with self-reported
high and low SRL scores. Substantial differences were detected between the self-described
learning behaviours of these two groups in five of the sub-processes examined. Learners'
motivations and goals were found to shape how they conceptualised the purpose of the
MOOC, which in turn affected their perception of the learning process. |
