Self-report and traces of blended SRL

These passages occur verbatim in the stored paper text. They support the points listed below; they do not verify every statement in the explanation.

145 computer science undergraduates participated.

The participants were 145 computer science undergraduates, of whom 108 were male (74.5%) and 37 were female (25.5%).

What course context was studied?

They were enrolled in a first-year compulsory course – “computer systems”

Key findings

Clusters were somewhat consistent across methods. Students reporting higher efficacy, higher intrinsic goals, lower anxiety, and better strategies were also more active online and scored higher; poorer self-reported SRL aligned with less online engagement and lower performance.

Methodology

145 first-year computer science undergraduates in a 13-week blended “computer systems” course completed self-regulated learning surveys; researchers also used LMS digital traces and clustered students using both data sources.

Limitations

Correlational clustering cannot prove that changing SRL strategies causes higher grades, and findings are from one compulsory CS course.
