“…According to theoretical and empirical research, learning strategies are important predictors of learning performance in the online environment. Learning strategies are processes that involve generating, organizing, or converting data for academic achievement (Neroni et al, 2019 ). SRL strategies refer to the application of resource management and cognitive strategies to supervise learning (Panadero, 2017 ).…”

In the education context, The Motivational Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) is extensively used in assessing self-regulated learning strategies. However, more research is needed to address whether it is applicable for distance education. The exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were used to test the Chinese version of the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire part-B for distance learning (MSLQ-B-DL) using two samples totalling 385 participants. This paper substantiates MSLQ-B-DL's criterion-related, convergent, and factorial validity, as well as its internal consistency, in China. Specifically, the concurrent validity of the MSLQ-B-DL was shown from three aspects: (a) the negative correlation of MSLQ-B-DL with trait procrastination; (b) the positive correlation of MSLQ-B-DL with self-control; and (c) the positive correlation of MSLQ-B-DL with instrumental help-seeking and the former's negative correlation with help-seeking avoidance and executive help-seeking. Finally, this study highlights the MSLQ-B-DL's validity and reliability in evaluating the learning strategies in adult distance education in China.

“…Compared to younger students, adult students often have low self-confidence when it comes to mastering the various online procedures. On the other hand, Neroni and co-workers [ 37 ] investigated the relationship between learning strategies and academic performance and revealed that non-traditional students, such as those attending a blended learning programme, are more persistent than traditional students when facing challenges.…”

Aim To gain knowledge of how adult students experienced the first year of a blended learning master programme to better understand their learning process. Methods A qualitative, exploratory, descriptive study based on data from two focus group interviews with students attending a blended learning Master programme. Qualitative content analysis based on Graneheim and Lundman’s procedures was applied. Findings Our analyses revealed one main theme: aspiring for competence in a multifaceted everyday life and four main categories: acquiring professional competence, struggling to manage diverse forms of communication, demanding task juggling and confused student role. Conclusions The participants experienced that the programme enabled them to acquire professional competence relevant to practice. Despite the challenges, the programme is recommended for prospective students who live in both urban and rural areas, who are working and also responsible for children and other family tasks.

“…There are foreign studies indicating the positive effect of the use of the distance learning form or the opportunity of getting the same results from the full-day form (Neroni et al, 2019;Costa & Claudia, 2019;Sublett, 2019;Grau-Valldosera, Minguillon & Blasco-Moreno, 2019). For example, C.S.…”

In order to implement new national curriculums in the field of higher education in Ukraine, it is necessary to use the open educational forms as one of the sustainable development conditions. Therefore, the authors used a correlated analysis, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, F-test, and Pearson's chi-squared test in order to examine the Ukrainian students' motivation towards the education according to the theory of internal motivation. The present study was based on the experiment conducted in two separate universities in Ukraine. Participants of the study were students of higher education facilities, who studied on the specialty "Law". In total, 130 students were offered to take part in the experiment and only 104 students agreed on the participation. Therefore, they completed the written consent, and data were collected by survey information. The losses were due to the absence of the students or lack of the written consents during the experiment. Thus, they voluntarily participated in the study and answered the blank anonymously. Moreover, the universe rate was within the confidence interval. In addition, authors stated that the choice between traditional and ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) based educational approaches had a serious impact on the distribution of students' motivational values. In fact, students showed higher efficiency index while studying the law with the help of distance learning. However, participants did not believe that using the distance learning form would not help them to study well and pass their exams on "4" and "5". Therefore, it is established that the whole opportunity value to pay attention to the problems interesting for students is the sole harbinger for the thesis that the study of law with the help of the distance learning form makes their education qualitative. Thus, it is argued that the Ukrainian students are motivated to study law with the help of ICT, but the value distribution is different according to gender roles. For example, males may have more benefit from the use of ICT whereas females need another point of interest to use the distance learning form to study law.
