Abstract

Abstract This study aimed to explore the integration of self-regulated learning into digital platforms to improve students' achievement and performance. Moodle platform was used with additional modifications to integrate the features of self-regulated learning. An experimental design involving experimental and control groups with pre-post-tests was utilized. The ADDIE model stages were followed to develop and address the study variables. The study sample included 70 students from the faculty of education at Suez University in Egypt, who were divided into two groups. The first group studied using the instructional approach that integrates self-regulated learning and digital platforms, whereas the second group studied using the traditional method in computer lab. After data collection, SPSS software was used to analyze and process the results through a t-test, and calculated effect size using eta square (η2). The results showed significant differences in the mean scores of the two groups, favoring the first group. Moreover, the integration of self-regulated learning into online platforms had a positive impact on the improvement of students’ achievement and performance related to digital competencies, this finding attributed to the features of self-regulation within the online learning platform.
