Development of a Digital Module with Motivational Regulation and Metacognitive Prompt to Enhance Self-Regulated Learning in Vocational Schools

Abstract

In a work environment that continues to develop, vocational school students are required to be independent and able to adapt quickly, making self-regulated learning (SRL) skills an urgent need. Innovations in education are needed to create learning environments that support students in developing self-regulated learning skills. This study developed a digital module to assist teachers in fashion vocational schools in facilitating learning, emphasizing SRL development through active learning interventions. The module incorporates motivational regulation prompts in the form of questions that encourage students and guide them to understand their learning objectives and ways to achieve them. Meanwhile, metacognitive prompts help students set goals, plan, select strategies, and evaluate learning activities. Based on feasibility assessments, the module's development data showed a 98% rating from media experts, categorizing it as highly feasible, and an 88% rating from subject matter experts, also categorizing it as highly feasible. The practicality test in a small group yielded an 88% score, categorizing the module as practical, engaging, and easy to use. Data from implementing the digital module with students indicated that it helped improve SRL by 35%, categorized as moderate. These findings suggest that a digital module integrating motivational regulation and metacognitive prompts can effectively support self-regulated learning in fashion vocational schools. which are expected to help the student learning process and improve self-regulated learning. It is expected to help students realize their learning needs and train them in independently planning, learning, managing strategies, and evaluating the learning process. This SRL ability is expected to form the character of vocational students who can adapt to all existing changes. There is a need for a sustainable implementation pattern and school support, so that students gain experience and feel a positive impact in the learning process so that they can grow the need for independent learning in students.
