Investigating Students' Perceptions of Their Learning Experience and Self-Regulated Learning Skills During Emergency Remote Teaching

Abstract

Academically successful students are those who are confident in their learning skills, self-directed learners, able to exert control on their learning, and manage it in a self-reliant manner. One of the highly autonomous instructional contexts students could go through was Emergency Remote Teaching. In this research, the author used a mixed method, through a survey with open-ended questions, to measure students’ attitudes towards the rapid transition to fully online classes and explore students’ evaluation of their SRL skills during emergency learning circumstances. The author examined students’ perceptions of their online learning experience and self-regulated learning SRL. The results highlight students’ perceptions of their experience after the rapid transition to distance education which they evaluated as not easy transition. However, 61 of the respondents agreed that they were motivated towards learning during the pandemic time.
