Abstract
In recent times, it has been observed that
amidst so many distractions, some students fail to dedicate time to managing
their learning experiences which could lead to examination malpractice and/or
backlog of carryovers. It is therefore necessary to have a tool that assesses
students' ability to manage their leaning experiences. Against this background,
this study developed and validated a self-managed learning tool for students of
universities in Rivers State. Instrumentation research design was used to
develop the tool and Zimmerman's cyclical model was adopted. The theories that
guided the study were self-managed learning and item response theories. The
population was 71,778, and a sample of 1,440 students was drawn using multi-
stage sampling procedure. Four research questions were answered using excel,
SPSS, and R while one null hypothesis was tested using chi square. The overall
MSA was 0.76 which is rated as adequate. Three factors were loaded with eigen
values of 4.93, 2.97 and 1.64. The findings indicated that there was a
significant difference between the negative and positive items. The ordinal
reliability coefficient was 0.85 Alpha was recommended among others that
lectures in the universities should encourage students to imbibe the habit of
managing their learning because it will help them to expand their knowledge
academically.
