Purpose –
Students’ ability to self-regulate their learning and to learn
effectively with peers are indicators of success in the era of the 4th
Industrial Revolution. This study investigated whether peer learning
helps to influence online learning satisfaction in the presence of selfregulated learning (SRL) as a mediating variable.
Methodology -
The study adopted a correlational research design
to examine the possibility of relationships between these variables.
The sample was selected based on proportional stratified sampling
method. Of the 409 respondents, only 347 were valid for data
analysis, forming a usable case of 84.84%. The instrument used
was an online questionnaire adapted from pre-existing reliable
multi-item instruments. Structural Equation Model (SEM) analysis
was used to examine the relationship between the constructs in
the hypothesised model, while Bootstrapping test was applied to
examine the mediation effects of SRL.
Findings - From the direct effect of the SEM analysis, students’ ability
to learn with peers was found to have significantly influenced their
SRL strategies, while SRL strategies were found to have a positive
and statistically significant effect on online learning satisfaction.
Moreover, the findings from the Bootstrapping test concurred that
the influence of peer learning on online learning satisfaction was
fully mediated by SRL.
Significance -
By understanding the mediator roles played by SRL,
this study hopes to provide insights for universities and course
instructors to make pedagogically informed design decisions by
integrating appropriate SRL strategies in the development of blended
learning courses.
