| Abstract: | A significant body of research from psychology and educational sciences emphasizes the essential role of the ability to continuously regulate ongoing learning progress by strategical planning, monitoring, and evaluating one's learning progress to be successful in online education. However, previous research identified a gap between learners' desirable usage of self-regulatory learning strategies and the regulatory practice by learners of all ages. One potential explanation may lie in the inadequate application of self-regulated learning strategies. This hypothesis firstly suggests the need for valid instruments that capture self-regulatory activities in online learning behaviours. To this end, the presented study examined the association between self-reported online self-regulated learning competencies and behavioural logs captured in an online learning environment. Due to technical difficulties in log data collection, the concept of engagement was partially used as a vehicle to reason about the associations between log data and self-reported self-regulation skills. The sample consisted of 47 German vocational education students. The results suggest that the total session count measured as the number of logins, the regular reviewing of one's learning tasks, and the percentage of correct responses to questions during an assessment were positively associated with self-reported regulatory abilities. Unexpectedly, the SRL score was not associated with a higher engagement quality with the learning content, measured as the completion rate of learning phases. |
