Analyzing Student Learning Behavior in a Blended-Learning Environment in Thai Higher Education
Keywords:
blended learning, online learning, self-regulated learning, information literacy skill, technology educationAbstract
The purpose of this study was to design a blended learning course. This course was implemented at a higher education institution in Thailand. The face-to-face part was designed to teach the knowledge and information literacy skills necessary for living in a digital world. The activities in the classroom comprised both individual and group works. The course content and materials were available in the online part. Activities in the online part emphasized students’ self-regulated strategies. Online log data were analyzed to understand student learning behaviors towards blended-learning mode. This study supports the notion that effective blended learning approach can help students to improve their self-regulated strategies.
