Description

A publicly available 44-item, 7-point questionnaire developed by Broadbent et al. to measure undergraduate learners’ motivational beliefs and self-regulated learning strategies in online and blended higher education.

Components

• SRL-O questionnaire: a 44-item self-report measure of online self-regulated learning: The SRL-O is a publicly available self-report questionnaire measuring motivated self-regulated learning in online and blended contexts. The article states that "The final questionnaire contained 44 items that make up ten subscales measured on a 7-point response scale, with higher scores indicating higher perceived motivation or strategy use." It includes scale definitions and recommendations for learners scoring under four, and is downloadable with Qualtrics versions at www.srl-o.com, which provides automatised scores to students along with academic recommendations. (Broadbent et al. (2023))

Claims

• The SRL-O has a 10-factor structure covering motivational beliefs and learning strategies for online learners [+M]
• SRL-O subscales show convergent validity with corresponding MSLQ scales [+M]
• No existing online SRL questionnaire covers the breadth of motivational beliefs and learning strategies the SRL-O covers [+W]
• The SRL-O supports both ten lower-order subscales and two superordinate factors (motivational beliefs and learning strategies) [+W]
• Self-report measures of SRL capture perceptions of strategy use rather than implementation quality, and a combined trace-data approach may be best [~W]
• Nine of the ten SRL-O subscales showed internal consistency above 0.70, with study environment lower (omega = 0.665) [+W]
