Regulatory profiles for self-directed learning in MOOC
Abstract
In the current ecology of learning, participation in massive and open learning environments confers a new role to the learner as an individual who, connected with others and with the available resources, learns autonomously. In this research we rely on educational regulation as a necessary mechanism of self-directed learning processes in MOOC. Specifically, a metacognitive enrichment process of the design of a MOOC with contributions by its learners is analyzed. Self-regulation is used as a tool to personalize and make massive learning more flexible in a technified ecology. More specifically, a profiling tool for learners for their self-directed learning is proposed in relation to three skills axes: motivational, social and reflective. The qualitative analysis of the contributions in co-design workshops to a learner profile test and the results obtained in the implementation of this test in the MOOC provide the following results: a) the characteristics of the regulatory profiles and support measures to self-directed learning from the perspective of the participants; and b) the evolution of the behavior of the different profiles and their use as a regulatory instrument for self-directed learning in MOOC.
