Ingenious Attempts to Develop Self-Regulated Learning Strategies with e-Learning: Focusing on Time-Management Skill and Learning Habit

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to investigate effects of ingenious attempts for comprehensive supports and facilitations to promote students’ self-regulated learning strategies, especially time-management skill. The attempts from the perspectives of (1) course design and development, (2) course implementation and mentoring, (3) customization of LMS, and (4) collaborations among instructors and e-learning professionals were employed for e-learning course implementation in the spring semester, 2009. The results of 814 students indicate that students might gradually gain their learning habits and felt that making a learning plan was useful for their learning. The results and attempts for the research might be beneficial for administrators, educators, and researchers who are in charge of e-learning implementation aiming to help students develop their self-regulated learning strategies.
