Measuring and supporting self-regulated learning in blended learning contexts

Abstract:

Despite the positive effects of Blended Learning (BL), several studies have shown that students require high levels of self-regulation to succeed in these types of practices. Still, there is little understanding of how students organize their learning in BL authentic contexts. This paper presents the objectives and current status of a project that seeks to understand how students' Self-regulated Learning (SRL) strategies manifest themselves in BL contexts holistically and how to foster it through technological solutions. The contributions of this project will be three-fold. First, we aim to develop novel analytical and technological solutions to understand better the dynamics of how self-regulated learning unveils in BL contexts. Second is the development of a dashboard-based support tool for students and teachers. And third, we will provide evaluations of the analytical framework and support tool in authentic BL contexts. We expect that these contributions will provide the community with a better understanding of the dynamics of SRL in BL.
