Subclaims¶

q3 i? Older learners reported higher SRL (except help seeking); women reported higher help seeking but lower strategic planning, elaboration, and self-evaluation; employed learners and those with graduate degrees reported higher SRL on several strategies. → Kizilcec 2017 q3 i? Learners who completed more prior online courses, had prior topic experience, greater time commitment, and ambitious course intentions reported substantially higher SRL (up to 0.5 SD). → Kizilcec 2017 (2)

Evidence¶

Kizilcec 2017¶

Kizilcec, R. F., Pérez-Sanagustín, M., & Maldonado, J. J. (2017). Self-regulated learning strategies predict learner behavior and goal attainment in Massive Open Online Courses. Computers & Education, 104, 18–33. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compedu.2016.10.001

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Penalized (elastic net) regressions on 27 individual characteristics predicting each of six SRL strategy scores among 4,831 learners, with coefficients estimated simultaneously adjusting for all other predictors. "Older learners reported consistently higher levels of SRL, except for help seeking."

"Older learners reported consistently higher levels of SRL, except for help seeking. Women reported lower levels of strategic planning, elaboration, and self-evaluation; however, women reported higher levels of goal setting, task strategies, and especially help seeking."

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Same penalized regression models. "SRL skills were substantially higher dup to 0.5 SD damong learners who expressed the goal of either finishing all lectures or finishing all assessments." Prior course completions, topic experience, and time commitment also predicted higher SRL.

"SRL skills were substantially higher dup to 0.5 SD damong learners who expressed the goal of either finishing all lectures or finishing all assessments."
