Abstract


Abstract: Toward a Tripartite Model of EFL Students Learning Strategies, Epistemic Beliefs, and Their Online Learning Engagement. Objectives: The main objective of this study is to understand the link between these factors. This research explored the link among EFL students learning, beliefs about learning, learning strategies, and learning engagement since they are key factors in influencing them to learn English. Methods: This research applied quantitative research, notably correlational design among EFL epistemic belief, learning strategies which later is consisted of reading, speaking, and writing, and online learning engagement. Findings: The findings of structural equation modeling showed that EFL epistemic beliefs are associated with learning strategies and online learning engagement in a significant and positive way. Conclusion: Theoretical and methodological implications for studies of epistemic beliefs, learning strategies, and online learning engagement are explored.

Keywords: tripartite model, EFL students, epistemic belief, learning strategies, online learning engagement.

Abstrak: Model Tripartite Terhadap Strategi Pembelajaran, Keyakinan Epistemik, Strategi Pembelajaran, dan Keterlibatan Pembelajaran Online Siswa EFL. Tujuan: Tujuan utama dari penelitian ini adalah untuk memahami hubungan antara faktor-faktor ini. Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi hubungan antara pembelajaran siswa EFL, keyakinan tentang pembelajaran, strategi pembelajaran, dan keterlibatan belajar karena faktor tersebut adalah faktor kunci dalam mempengaruhi siswa untuk belajar bahasa Inggris. Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kuantitatif yaitu korelasi tentang keyakinan epistemik mahasiswa, strategi pembelajaran membaca, berbicara, dan menulis, dan keterlibatan pembelajaran online. Temuan: Hasil dari pemodelan persamaan struktural mengungkapkan bahwa keyakinan epistemik mahasiswa memiliki hubungan yang signifikan dan positif dengan strategi pembelajaran dan keterlibatan pembelajaran online. Kesimpulan: Implikasi teoretis dan metodologis dibahas dalam penelitian tentang hubungan antara keyakinan epistemik, strategi pembelajaran, dan keterlibatan pembelajaran online.

Kata kunci: model tripartit, siswa EFL, keyakinan epistemik, strategi pembelajaran, keterlibatan pembelajaran online.
