This study explores the difference in learners' learning processes with varying levels of self-directed learning in a digital learning environment. The research adopts a qualitative case study approach, focusing on analyzing two selected course cases. These courses are from two public universities and fall under the domain of digital learning within the teacher education system. Self-directed learning questionnaires were utilized to categorize students into high and low levels of self-directed learners. Semi-structured interviews were conducted after 18 weeks of courses and then the employment of content analysis method as a research tool for the translation and data qualitative analysis. Based on the data from the two cases, high-level self-directed learners outperformed their counterparts with low-level self-directed learning in terms of“Initiative”,“Control”, and“Self-efficacy”dimensions. On the dimension of motivation, we found that high-level self-directed learners exhibited a higher intrinsic motivation. In contrast, low-level self-directed learners demonstrated a higher reliance on extrinsic motivation. These findings suggest that in designing digital learning courses, particularly for low-level self-directed learners, providing individualized support and guidance may be beneficial to enhance their learning experience. |
