Abstract—Self-regulation play a key role on undergraduates’
knowledge, skills, and engagement in flipped classroom.
However, some students cannot complete assignment due to
failure of time management, which is a critical skill of
self-regulation (SR). Therefore, a tool is required to support
self-regulation. Assignment log is a key tool for maintaining
self-regulation, including self-efficacy, time management, and
help-seeking. This study aimed to study the usage of the
assignment logs in flipped classroom and lecture based-learning
on self-efficacy, time management, and help-seeking, compared
with flipped classroom and lecture based-learning without the
assignment logs. The participants included two groups, which
one had 41 undergraduate students and another one consisted
of 26 students who are part of an electronic engineering
program at a large technical university in Bangkok, Thailand.
The ANOVA results revealed that there was different
self-efficacy, time management, and help seeking between
learning with the assignment log and other lecture-based
learning without the assignment log and flipped classroom
without the assignment log. Students who have learned with the
assignment log perceived self-efficacy and time management
more than lecture-based learning method and flipped classroom
methods. This study provides insight into the importance of the
assignment logs to support students’ self-regulation.
Index Terms—Assignment log, help-seeking, time
