Paper Abstract:
|
We have previously developed a mobile context-aware learning schedule (mCALS) framework, which provides a
potential effective learning approach for supporting self-regulated students. This framework uses the learners learning
schedule to retrieve their location and available time contexts in order to suggest appropriate materials to them based on
these, at the time of usage. The users learning styles and knowledge level contexts are also considered. A suggestion
mechanism selects appropriate learning objects to students from a learning object repository. Our interview study has
been conducted and the purpose of this paper is to present the data analysis relating to participants learner characteristics
and their usage of learning schedules for supporting time management of studies as well as their views regarding mlearning.
Results showed that 1) participants who closely followed their learning schedules were learners with selfregulated
learning characteristics, 2) the act of planning study-related events had helped self-regulated participants to
motivate their studies, and 3) a strong significant positive correlation was obtained between participants who were more
enthusiastic to m-learning and those who enjoyed studies more. The results corroborate that the learning schedule within
our mCALS framework can be used successfully as a motivating learning approach for supporting self-regulated learners. |
