This chapter reported a quantitative study that was designed explore the above issue. A questionnaire was constructed to obtain information on self-management strategies of learning (planning, monitoring, and evaluation) as well as time management. The target population was distance learning students who were taking a mathematics course conducted in blended learning environment at the Faculty of Education in a public university. A total of 224 students were randomly selected to participate in this study. The finding showed that the three dimensions (planning, monitoring, and evaluating) named as independent variables significantly contributed to the time management. Besides, the highest coefficient of the contributed factor towards time management is evaluating. Hence, evaluation has played a major role in effective time management. On the other hand, planning and monitoring are significantly contributing to evaluating. |
