التدريب على الإنضباط الذاتي في التعلم و أثره على التحصيل الأكاديمي الجامعي

Abstract EN

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of training on students’ self-controlled learning, and their academic achievements at the university level.

In order to accomplish this aim, two available classes consisted of (100) undergraduate students enrolled at the college of education sciences at An-Najah University were taken for this study.

One class was served as an experimental group in which students received training on how to control their learning, and the other class was served as a control group in which students received no training.

Another available class of (26) graduate students was taken for this study.

This class was served as experimental and control group at the same time.

The three classes were surveyed by a questionnaire of two parts: one part consisted of (20) items reflecting the selfcontrolled learning, and the other consisted of (6) semi open questions asking students about certain personal information.The questionnaire was administered twice: One before training and another after it.

At the end of the experiment, all groups have taken the achievement test in the unit they’ve studied.

The data was analyzed by using the appropriate statistics.

The results revealed that the over all mean of self-controlled learning either for graduates or undergraduates was exceeded the four points out of five (i.e., above 80%).

The over all mean was also increased significantly (p<.o5) after the students received training on self-controlled learning comparing to control groups.

In addition, the results showed that the graduate students were higher significantly (p<.o5) on self-controlled learning scale than the undergraduates.

On the other hand the results did not reveal any significant effect of self-controlled learning in relation to students’ sex, ability, specialization, age, and health status, and academic achievements.

Accordingly, the researcher recommended other researchers to increase the period of training on self-controlled learning in order to let students assimilate and practice it as a habit, thus, to be reflected positively on their academic achievements.
