A multi-dimensional self-regulated learning model in the mobile era: implementation and evaluation in a long-term and large-scale promotion program in Taiwan

In this study, a multi-dimensional self-regulated learning (MSRL) model is proposed. The model has been applied to a long-term and large-scale promotion program in Taiwan for helping school teachers guide students to be self-regulated learners from the stages of metacognition and cognition. To evaluate the relation of the MSRL, a survey study was conducted by analysing the feedback from 1,293 high school students using partial least squares structural equation modelling. The result showed that the students' self-regulation had a solid relationship with their 5C (collaboration, communication, creativity, complex problem solving, and critical thinking) capabilities, especially a strong relationship with communication and collaboration. Furthermore, communication and collaboration are also associated with their complex problem-solving, critical thinking, and creativity. The results revealed that the MSRL model not only increased students' learning engagement but also enhanced their higher order thinking.
