Abstract

Vocational degree earners represent a major portion of the work force in Taiwan. However, vocational education in Taiwan is highly competitive in that it must attract sufficient student enrollment in an environment with a rapidly increasing number of schools. In this context, many vocational students tend to have lower levels of academic achievement. Under such constraints but moving toward more practical orientation, the authors conducted a quasi-experiment to examine the effects of applying web-based self-regulated learning (SRL), web-based problem-based learning (PBL) with initiation, and their combination to help these low-achieving students be involved positively in their learning. Four classes in successive years, with a total of 177 third-year students, were divided into 2 (SRL vs. non-SRL)x2 (PBL with initiation vs. PBL without initiation) experimental groups. Results were generally positive. The authors further discuss the implications for schools, particularly vocational schools, and for scholars and teachers concerned about e-learning.
