Abstract

The purpose of this research is to explore the impact of Learning Goal Orientation (LGO) on Self-Readiness for Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (SR-CSCL) and Self-Directed Learning (SDL). LGO is a central concept of motivation, but there is little research on its contribution to SDL and SR-CSCL. This study was performed at the Faculty of Education and Teacher Training of Indonesia Open University and used a descriptive quantitative research method, with a questionnaire as the primary data collection tool. The data obtained from 44 third-year students were analyzed using the Structural Equation Modelling method. The results show that LGO has a significant impact on SDL and SR-CSCL, particularly Motivation for Collaborative Learning (MCL). MCL had a positive and significant effect on SDL and the other SR-CSCL dimensions of Prospective Behaviors for Collaborative Learning (PBCL) and Online Learning Aptitude (OLA). MCL has the potential to become a mediator of LGO toward SDL.

Keywords: learning goal orientation; readiness for computer-supported collaborative learning; self-directed learning; motivation.
