Recommending self-regulated learning strategies does not improve performance in a MOOC

Many committed learners struggle to achieve their goal of completing a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC). This work investigates self-regulated learning (SRL) in MOOCs and tests if encouraging the use of SRL strategies can improve course performance. We asked 17 highly successful learners about thei...

This work investigates self-regulated learning (SRL) in MOOCs and tests if encouraging the use of SRL strategies can improve course performance. We asked 17 highly successful learners about their strategies for how to succeed in a MOOC. Their responses were coded based on a SRL framework and synthesized into seven recommendations. In a randomized experiment, we evaluated the effect of providing the recommendations to learners in the same course (N = 653). Although most learners rated the study tips as very helpful, the intervention did not improve course persistence or achievement. Results suggest that a single SRL prompt at the beginning of the course provides insufficient support. Instead, embedding technological AIDS that adaptively support SRL throughout the course could better support learners in MOOCs.EdinburghASSOCIATION FOR COMPUTING MACHINERY INC2018-01-11T16:47:31Z2018-01-11T16:47:31Z2016-04-25info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdf9781450337267https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84970028909&doi=10.1145%2f2876034.2893378&partnerID=40&md5=1c9f76306c66f5b4f55eaa0da521bd49http://dspace.ucuenca.edu.ec/handle/123456789/2914010.1145/2876034.2893378L@S 2016 - Proceedings of the 3rd 2016 ACM Conference on Learning at Scalereponame:Repositorio Universidad de Cuencainstname:Universidad de Cuencainstacron:UCUENCAen_USinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2020-08-01T01:15:08Zoai:dspace.ucuenca.edu.ec:123456789/29140Institucionalhttp://dspace.ucuenca.edu.ec/Universidad públicahttps://www.ucuenca.edu.ec/http://dspace.ucuenca.edu.ec/oai.Ecuador...opendoar:41862020-08-01T01:15:08Repositorio Universidad de Cuenca - Universidad de Cuencafalse
