| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of knowledge conversion processes on motivation, learning strategy, metacognition and performance in an LMS supported blended learning environment. Many studies have investigated the effects of these variables on each other using bivariate analysis but no study has investigated their effects using Nonaka and Takeuchi’s (1995) knowledge conversion model which comprises factors of Socialization, Externalization, Combination, and Internalization, nor employed a simultaneous analysis of the effects of all the factors using tools such as structural equation modeling. This study employed the survey research method and involved a sample of 202 undergraduate students currently enrolled in classes using blended learning and the LMS at one university in the northern part of Peninsular Malaysia. Two sets of questionnaires, namely the SECI questionnaire that was developed by the researcher, and the MSLQ questionnaire developed by Pintrich et al. (1991) were employed for this study. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) that allowed for simultaneous analysis of all the factors using the regression method. The findings showed that all the factors of SECI and MSLQ were extracted in the measurement model but in the final structural model only the factors of Socialization & Externalization were represented together with the MSLQ factors. Socialization reported a significant direct effect on metacognition and significant indirect effects on Learning Strategy and Performance through Metacognition and Motivation. Externalization, on the other hand, reported a significant direct effect on Motivation and significant indirect effects on Learning Strategy and Performance through Motivation. This study found that the knowledge conversion processes represented by Socialization and Externalization triggered the cognitive learning processes and motivation and contributed a very large effect size on Learning Strategy but these processes produced a very small effect on Performance. This study contributed to the understanding of the hidden mechanics of learning in an LMS supported blended learning environment, and for the environment studied, the driver of blended learning was face-to-face interactions with the lecturers and not the facilities afforded by technology. | en_US |
