| Summary: | The purpose of this study was to study the effect of a multimedia computing program on the
production of activities and self-regulated learning processes in 18 students of the Dentistry
postdegree (Celaya, Mexico). A multi-method design (quasi-experimental, pretest-post-test
and qualitative: Think aloud protocol) was used. Self-regulated activities were identified
with the MSLQ questionnaire. Results of the MSLQ pretest/post-test questionnaire didn't
show an intervention effect. In contrast, the qualitative methodology allowed the
registration of a high frequency of self-regulated dimensions on the metacognitive area, on
the making of inferences (cognitive area), and on the planning time and effort (behavioural
area). Our data revealed the usefulness of a qualitative methodology for the understanding
of the complex nature of the self-regulatory processes on learning environments based on
computers. |
