Abstract

This research aimed to develop and examine a structural equation model (SEM) of factors influencing self-regulated learning competencies in the digital world among ninth-grade students. The sample consisted of 225 ninth-grade students selected through multi-stage random sampling. The data collection instrument was a 98-item questionnaire using a five-point Likert scale, with discrimination indices ranging from 0.402 to 0.807 and reliability coefficients between 0.904 and 0.959. Structural equation modeling was analyzed using statistical software.


               The research findings revealed that: 1) the variables within the model had a statistically significant positive relationship at the .01 level with 325 values, with a correlation coefficient between 0.249 and 0.725, indicating low to high levels. 2) The model demonstrated a good fit with empirical data ( (269, N = 225) = 307.040, /df = 1.141, p = 0.0551, CFI = 0.991, TLI =0.989, RMSEA = 0.025, SRMR = 0.031). 3) Learning adaptability, perceived ease of use of technology, and technology acceptance collectively influenced self-regulated learning competencies in the digital world. Factors that positively influenced self-regulated learning competencies in the digital world were learning adaptability, perceived internet self-efficacy, and technology acceptance, while perceived ease of use of technology had a negative direct influence and perceived internet self-efficacy had a negative indirect influence on self-regulated learning competencies in the digital world with statistical significance at the .05 level.
