Description / Abstract

The effects of personalized learning on the self-regulatory abilities of students has not been fully explored at the secondary level. This mixed-methods, exploratory sequential study, used a post-then-pre approach to determine how secondary students, enrolled in personalized learning programs, in two secondary schools in southeastern Idaho, USA, perceived the changes in their self-regulatory abilities as a result of their participation in the personalized learning program. A small proportion of the student participants were selected to participate in small group interviews to explore the change in a qualitative manner. In addition, the study explored the effect of educational technologies employed in the personalized learning program on the self-regulatory abilities of students. A literature review was conducted in the areas of personalized learning, self-regulation, and adaptive educational technologies. Statistically significant increases to the perceived self-regulatory abilities of students were found (p ≤ .05) from pre- to post-personalized learning, with small effect sizes. In addition, the qualitative interview data showed that students who showed the highest level of perceived increase in self-regulatory abilities, articulated that there were definite changes to their self-regulatory abilities in their academic and non-academic lives. Qualitative results of interviews demonstrate that educational technologies utilized to support personalized learning programs can have a positive effect. This study provides initial data in a growing field of research surrounding personalized learning and self-regulation and the results prompt additional research in the field.
