Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study was to identify changes in information literacy, self-regulation, and online learning effectiveness of adult learners, and to explore the structural relationship between the three variables. Methods A potential growth model was used by using data surveyed in 2014 (9th), 2016 (10th), 2018 (11th), and 2020 (12th) of the Korean Education Longitudinal Study 2005 (KELS 2005). The trend of change over time and the longitudinal relationship was verified. Results As a result of examining the trend of change over time, the average of information literacy, self-regulation, and online learning effectiveness did not change significantly, and the average of online learning effectiveness was relatively high. In addition, both information literacy and self-regulation statically predicted the initial value of the online learning effectiveness, and the rate of change was also significantly predicted. Finally, it was found that information literacy was greater than self-regulation in terms of the influence on the longitudinal change of online learning effectiveness. Conclusions Discussions and suggestions were presented on the significant effects of information literacy and self-regulation on the longitudinal changes in online learning effectiveness of adult learners. To ensure stable online learning effectiveness, prior training to improve competencies such as information literacy and self-regulation is required from the beginning, and support is especially required so that learners can acquire and adapt to new technologies. Through the results of this study, it will be possible to seek ways to develop information literacy and self-regulation skills to increase the effectiveness of online learning in a situation where the importance and application fields of online learning are expanding.
