Discipline: Education

Abstract:

This study investigates the relationship between learning strategies, motivation, and online learning environment among 150 first-year college students. Employing a correlational design to evaluate the existing relationship between the variables. Hence, Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) and Online Learning Environment Survey (OLES) were employed to assess the study’s variables. Thus, the statistical analysis reveals that the r coefficient of 0.68 indicates a moderate positive correlation between the variables. The p-value of 0.00, which is less than 0.05, leads to the decision to reject the null hypothesis. Hence, a significant relationship exists between learning strategies, motivation, and the online learning environment.
