Abstract

The aim of the study is determining the interaction profiles of learners in e-learning environments in terms of motivation and learning strategies. The study was conducted with 65 learners taking Computer Networks and Communication course for six weeks. The learners used the Moodle environment as a learning management system (LMS) in the context of the course. In this environment, learners interacted with the course content, discussions, assessment tasks, and instructor. Research data were obtained by keeping the interaction data in database and the self-reported measures. During the analysis of data firstly a ranking was made based on the learners' interactions by the grey relation analyze. Optimal scaling analysis was used to examine the relationship between learners' interaction profiles, motivation and cognitive strategies. It has been observed that learners, who interact at high level, have higher elaboration and regulation cognitive strategies; and those who interact low level, have lover elaboration and regulation cognitive strategies. As a result of these findings, it became clear that the cognitive strategies preferred by learners are an important factor in the interactions in e-learning environments.

Examination of the relationship between the attitudes of teacher candidates towards technology and their opinions of distance education

“…The importance of learner attitude in the online learning process has been extensively tested with various research processes that employ a range of variables (Chou & Chou, 2021;Liaw et al, 2007;Sarıbaş & Meydan, 2020;Şahin et al, 2017;Usta et al, 2016). Research was conducted by Baber (2021) to examine the emergency distance education process conducted in Korea after the outbreak of Covid-19.…”
