• In Event: Support of Student Self-Regulated Learning in Technology Contexts

Abstract

Mobile applications are viewed as a significant and evolving technology progressively used by college students for effective learning and time management. Therefore, how students perceive their time management and engagement while using mobile technology is crucial for success, especially as institutions shift to digital settings due to the pandemic. The purpose of this study is to investigate trends for online college student study times, time management, task concentration, and study effort utilizing a time management mobile application - Study Scheduler. We used hierarchical regression to examine the impact of Study Scheduler on students’ task concentration/effort, then conducted several interviews about their experiences. We found that Study Scheduler was significantly associated with increasing students’ task concentration and study effort.
