Students responses on why they chose to use or not to use a set of learning strategies in Chemistry during COVID
Students reasons for use of or not use of learning strategies in Chemistry during COVID. Students who responded to learning strategies within a particular subscale such as "peer learning", "help seeking" or "task strategies" with all negative or all positive responses were emailed to why they did not use the associated learning strategies or why they fully endorsed all the learning strategies in the set. This document contains all the anonymized emailed responses. First-year Chemistry students were surveyed on their use of self-regulated learning strategies during the Covid-19 pandemic. The survey data were collected via the Learning Management System. Students responded to items such as "I make simple charts, diagrams, or tables to help me organise course material" using a Likert scale ranging from "not at all true of me" to "very true of me". These data were combined with demographic data such as home language, gender and academic history. Thus, each line in the spreadsheet corresponds to a first-year chemistry student with their demographic details and their response to each item in the survey.
