Abstract—This study aims to apply the Motivated Strategies
for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) established by Pintrich to
determine the level of students' motivation and perception and
expose them to a Moodle to test the successful use of
Self-Regulated Learning on the Learning Management System
Moodle Environment. Ninety-six undergraduates (48 in the
experimental and 48 in the control group) took part in this
quasi-experimental study. The instrument (MSLQ) was tested
using Cronbach's Alpha with a reliability coefficient of 0.8
(80%). The data gathered through the MSLQ were analyzed
using descriptive statistics. While the data through the
achievement test were analyzed using an independent sample
t-test. The findings revealed that utilizing Moodle as a learning
management system enhances undergraduates' ability to learn
independently and motivates them to work hard. It also said that
the student's perception of the Learning Management System
was positive.
