The Effect of Self-Regulated Learning on Students' Learning Independence in Entrepreneurship Education

Achmad Mustofa, Hendra Koesmara, Awaluddin Awaluddin

Abstract


This study aims to determine the effect of implementing Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) assisted by the Wadhwani Ignite Learning Management System (LMS) on students’ learning independence in entrepreneurship courses at Universitas Syiah Kuala. A pre-experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design was employed, involving 72 students enrolled in entrepreneurship courses. Data were collected using a learning independence questionnaire administered before and after the intervention. SRL was implemented over seven meetings using Wadhwani Ignite LMS features, including learning materials, discussion forums, assignments, and online quizzes. Data were analyzed using the N-Gain test to measure improvements in students’ learning independence. The results showed that the average pretest score increased from 64.25 to 82.70 in the posttest, with an N-Gain value of .52, categorized as moderate. The improvement was particularly evident in learning independence, self-management, learning motivation, and problem-solving skills. These findings indicate that SRL assisted by Wadhwani Ignite LMS can enhance students’ learning independence and serve as an effective digital learning alternative in entrepreneurship education. The integration of SRL with an entrepreneurship-oriented LMS has implications for designing more effective learning environments that foster autonomous learning and lifelong learning competencies.
