Relationships Between Emotion Regulation, Self-Directed Behaviors, and Student Learning Outcomes in Online vs. In-Person College Courses
Abstract
Research examining student learning outcomes in online vs. in-person learning has shown varied results, with some studies showing more favorable outcomes in in-person courses and others showing no major differences between the two course types. Further exploration into additional factors influencing satisfaction and learning outcomes in both course formats highlights the relationships between self-directed learning behaviors (SDLBs), emotion regulation (ER), and quality of sleep with increased academic performance and course satisfaction. Previous research examining SLDBs and ER on student outcomes is limited to either online courses or in-person courses and does not compare the two. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to compare student learning outcomes and self-reported satisfaction in online and in-person courses., and to explore how SDLBs, ER, and sleep are related to learning outcomes and satisfaction. This study is utilizing an online survey that is being distributed via convenience sampling to students at Nova Southeastern University. The survey includes multiple psychological questionnaires that assess ER, SDLBs, sleep quality, and student learning outcomes. The differences in student learning outcomes and satisfaction based on course format will be analyzed using paired sample t-tests, and repeated measures ANCOVAs will be used to assess the impact of ER, SDLB, and sleep on learning outcomes and satisfaction in online and in-person courses. The results of this study will further our knowledge about how individual factors such as emotional regulation and self-directed learning behaviors influence performance in college courses, particularly if the courses are online. Data collection is currently ongoing.
