USING LMS FOR BEYOND SCHOOL CONNECTIVITY AND SELF-REGULATION OF LEARNING: A CASE STUDY OF EDOPIA

Abstract

Self- regulated learning skills (SRL) are deemed essential for survival in the 21st century and should be
developed among students by providing the opportunities of beyond school connectivity (Broadbent 2018;
Uzun & Uz, 2017). The current study is a case study of Edopia School, utilizing the Learning Management System
(LMS) and face-to-face interaction in an aim to develop SRL skills among students. Therefore, this research
was conducted to find out the level of the SRL skills among the students and record their views about the
provision of LMS for beyond school connectivity and its role in the development of SRL skills. Motivated
Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) was administered to assess the level of SRL skills followed by
focus group discussions to gather views of the students. It was found that LMS helped the learners in
developing SRL skills with a mean score of 5.45, 5.7, and 5.5 on three components of MSLQ. During the focus
group, discussion students highlighted the learning environment of the school, student-teacher ratio, and
parental involvement as motivating factors for the development of SRL skills.
