Validation of the Revised Self-regulated Online Learning Questionnaire

Self-regulated learning (SRL) is essential for students in online education to be successful. The Self-Regulated Online Learning Questionnaire was developed to measure SRL in online educational contexts. In this paper, a revised version of the questionnaire is presented and tested with three datasets. The scale ‘metacognitive skills’ is split into three subscales: metacognitive activities before, during, and after a learning task. Next to the three scales measuring metacognitive activity, the questionnaire contains scales measuring time management, environmental structuring, persistence, and help seeking. The revised questionnaire was found to have improved validity, usability, and reliability.
