Correlation of Self-regulated Learning on Blackboard and Academic Achievement of Islamic Studies Students

Abstract

Focusing on learners’ active roles has brought Self-regulated Learning (SRL) to attention. Since its introduction in the mid-eighties, research has discussed several models and conceptual frameworks pertaining to SRL. Yet, more studies are required to explain how students achieve SRL and how it associates with academic achievement. Additionally, the potential of modern learning tools such as the Blackboard Learning Management System LMS and their role in promoting SRL are highly valued. To this end, the current study adopted a 27-item questionnaire based on different SRL models. It surveyed a sample of 165 students regarding their use of SRL strategies while they were engaged in online courses through Blackboard. The correlation between students’ use of such strategies and their academic achievement was ultimately calculated. It was found that students with higher academic performance apply a broader range of SRL strategies. Also, a variance can be seen in the type of strategies used. These findings are traced back to the features afforded by Blackboard, which result in SRL if they are appropriately deployed. Accordingly, teachers are called to utilise LMSs to promote SRL strategies and train their students in their use. These results are considered significant as most previous research has focused on the SRL concept rather than its effect on academic achievement. However, further empirical research on LMS features and their impact on developing SRL is recommended.

“…Nevertheless, this needs further study. This study enriches the literature by responding to previous study state that there is a need for an empirical study to determine which BLB applications are used most for SRL (Al-Dawood, 2022). This study established that the most used BLB applications are also the ones that are perceived to be useful.…”

Enhancing Accessibility to Islamic Studies Education through E-learning

“…With a better understanding of the implementation of e-learning in the context of Islamic education, educational institutions and policy makers can develop more effective strategies to reach students who are in remote locations or have physical access barriers (Apriliana, 2021;Fahmi et al, 2021). Apart from that, E-learning can be used to improve the quality of Islamic Studies education (Al-Dawood, 2022;Fahmi et al, 2021). The implications of this research include improving the quality of learning materials, access to educational resources, and student engagement in the learning process.…”
