Interaction Effects of Gender and Motivational Beliefs on Self-Regulated Learning: A Study at ICT-Integrated Schools

Abstract

Purpose-This study aimed to examine the interaction effects of gender and motivational beliefs on students' self-regulated learning. Specifically, three types of motivational beliefs under the Expectancy-Value Model were examined, namely self-efficacy, control beliefs and anxiety. Methodology-A quantitative correlational research design was used to achieve the research objectives. Data were collected through the questionnaire survey method from 322 secondary school students (166 males; 156 females). The samples were taken from two ICTintegrated schools located in Peninsular Malaysia. The learning environment in these schools was conducive for self-regulated learning. The Learning Strategies Scale and the Motivation Scale, taken from the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) were used to measure the variables of the study. Findings-The findings showed that self-efficacy and control beliefs were posistively related to students'self-regulated learning. Anxiety, however, was found to be negatively related to selfregulated learning. The interactions between gender and levels of motivational beliefs on self-regulated learning were also explored in this study. The relationships between self-efficacy and selfregulated learning differed according to gender. However, there were no significant interaction effects between gender and internal Significance-This study offers insights on the interaction effects between motivational beliefs, and gender and self-regulated learning. It may helps to develop effective intructional strategies to enhance students' self-regulated learning skill in ICT-related learning environments.

Evaluation of technology‐based learning by dental students during the pandemic outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019

“…These results were consistent with a previous study conducted amongst dental students in Croatian universities 8 . In terms of gender, females showed higher satisfaction and a more positive attitude than males towards TB learning, which is similar to the suggestion by other studies that females are more willing to engage in TB learning 24,25 . Nevertheless, other studies have rejected the role of gender in relation to acceptance of or positivity towards TB learning methods 26,27 .…”

A Structural Analysis of Senior High School Students’ English Achievement Goal Orientation, Learning Anxiety, and Autonomous Learning Behavior

“…The study revealed that there were negative relationships between the students' English learning anxiety and their autonomous learning behavior, which confirmed the view that learners' English learning anxiety may hinder their English learning (Yin, Liu, & Ye, 2018;Abdullah, 2016). The results in the present study could be explained by the relationships between the students' mastery goals, learning anxiety, and autonomous English learning behavior as stated above.…”

Analysis of the Psychometric Properties of the Motivation and Strategies of Learning Questionnaire—Short Form (MSLQ-SF) in Spanish Higher Education Students

“…In the global context (Venezuela, Czech Republic, or Malaysia), some authors, such as Rao and Sachs (1999), Jakesöval and Hrbackova (2014), or Abdullah (2016), carried out studies in primary and secondary education populations, looking for knowledge on performance, motivation, and learning strategies. Recently, Angeli dos Santos and Ferreira (2016) analyzed the EMAPRE-U reliability and its validity in Portuguese populations, and Thomas and Muller (2016) used the SMR-L in Austria.…”
