Abstract

This study, conducted in a small town in Indonesia, examined how Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and face-to-face learning affected high school students’ motivation and self-regulated learning (SRL). This research employed the quasi-experimental method. The sample was obtained randomly from 144 high school students. The study’s primary instrument was a questionnaire with a five-point ranking scheme of 100 items to measure the students’ SRL and motivation levels. The Cronbach’s alpha value of the questionnaire was 0.959. This research indicated that face-to-face learning significantly affected the students’ motivation compared to the MOOC class, but MOOCs and face-to-face learning did not affect students’ SRL.

Keywords: MOOCs, motivation, self-regulated learning, face-to-face.
