A study conducted at a regional university in Kazakhstan investigated undergraduate student engagement with Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). The research, based on a survey of 682 students, aimed to understand engagement patterns and identify variations by gender, year of study, and discipline. The preliminary findings suggest that student engagement with MOOCs is occasional, though the full extent of this finding is limited by the truncated source text.
Why it matters
Understanding student engagement with digital learning platforms like MOOCs is critical for optimizing educational strategies and investments in technology. These insights can inform policy and resource allocation to ensure that digital learning tools effectively support student development and institutional goals in higher education contexts.
Key insights
- Digital transformation in Higher Education is supported by MOOCs, offering flexible learning.
- MOOCs' use and perceived value differ across institutional and national contexts.
- A study examined MOOC engagement among 682 undergraduate students at a regional university in Kazakhstan.
- The study used statistical tests (t-tests, ANOVA, chi-square) to analyze differences by gender, year of study, and discipline.
- Findings indicate that student engagement with MOOCs is characterized as 'occasional'.
