 Abstract

SPADA UNTIRTA, the Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa University Online Learning System, was developed to transition from traditional classroom-based learning to a more flexible and accessible learning environment for all UNTIRTA students. It enables students to independently access learning materials, tests, and lecture explanations without attending classes or interacting directly with lecturers. However, SPADA UNTIRTA has not effectively addressed challenges related to facilitating discussion forums for assignments and materials, limiting its potential for collaborative learning. Effective technology integration in active learning environments is essential to promote critical thinking and self-directed learning. This study investigates the effectiveness of SPADA UNTIRTA in enhancing self-regulated learning (SRL) among first-semester economics students, focusing on motivation, time management, and learning strategies. Using a mixed-methods approach with pre- and post-test comparisons and qualitative interviews, the findings reveal significant improvements in SRL, particularly motivation and time management, despite challenges such as limited real-time interaction and technical issues. This study concludes with recommendations to enhance SPADA UNTIRTA by improving its technical infrastructure and incorporating synchronous communication features to better support collaborative learning.
