Abstract

This study focused on developing an empirical student engagement model tailored to LMS-mediated higher education tutorials. As part of a larger initiative to create innovative learning strategies for first-year students. The research aimed to bridge the gap between prior knowledge and higher education demands using LMS-mediated tutorials. Despite the widespread adoption of Learning Management Systems (LMS) in delivering online tutorials, student engagement remains a significant challenge. In this article, which uses parts of the author’s doctoral study, developing a Trigonometry module consisting of course content in the form of resources and tasks was used to identify key determinants of student engagement in LMS-mediated e-tutorials. A mixed-method research approach with a reflexive self-study research design was used. 129 first-year university student volunteers were used to test the tutorial through 4 development cycles. Through an empirical qualitative approach, questionnaires, interviews, direct observations, screen capture videos and student work samples were used as data collection methods. The research highlights critical issues in current e-tutorial designs and proposes actionable improvements. The findings underscore the importance of addressing both cognitive and behavioural engagement strategies to enhance e-learning experiences and outcomes. This research offers valuable insights for educators and institutions seeking to foster deeper student engagement and improve the effectiveness of e-learning environments.

Abstract

The study examines the impact of LMS-mediated e-tutorials on student engagement and learning outcomes in mathematics at a South African university. Grounded in constructivist theory, it explores how interactive LMS tools enhance engagement and knowledge construction. The research follows a qualitative case study approach within the interpretivist paradigm, focusing on student performance, learning strategies, perceptions, and system usability. A convenience sample of 129 first-year mechanical engineering students was selected. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, observations, screen capture videos, and journals. Thematic analysis identified key patterns related to learning outcomes, student actions, emotional responses, and system affordances. Findings indicate that LMS-mediated e-tutorials enhance student engagement and performance, particularly when they incorporate interactive features and personalized feedback. However, technical challenges, such as rigid input requirements, hinder optimal engagement. Students adopted problem-solving strategies like rough work and social collaboration. The study highlights the potential of LMS tools to bridge learning gaps in mathematics education. Recommendations include enhancing system flexibility, improving feedback mechanisms, fostering collaboration, and incorporating gamification. Continuous evaluation and refinement of LMS features are crucial to maximizing their effectiveness across diverse educational contexts.
