Abstract

This is a complete research paper. HyFlex learning models have gained popularity as a result of the pandemic. Studies and surveys show the post-pandemic importance of blended learning models like HyFlex which is believed to potentially improve higher education for years to come. Researchers have consistently demonstrated how self-regulation improves students’ academic achievement in traditional classroom settings. Since the online learning environment is defined by autonomy, it may be predicted that these self-regulatory learning skills will be even more crucial to the success of learning in the online setting than they are in the traditional face-to-face classroom. Although self-regulation is an important feature related to students’ academic success, little is known about the role of self-regulation in blended learning environments in higher education. The research context for the study is a first-year design thinking course that is offered in a HyFlex format. In the course, students are given the flexibility to join the class synchronously remotely or face-to-face at every class meeting. Through this study, we are trying to understand the relationship between students’ self-regulation and their choice of class participation on any given day. Self-regulation is measured using the MSLQ (Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire).
