Abstract

The paper intended to investigate adult learners’ Internet self-efficacy, self-regulation, and performance in online learning environments. The participants of this study were African Americans from a HBCU institution. The online learners participated in two web-based research courses during the summer sessions. The effect of learner characteristics on performance was examined. The results showed that student performance was significantly associated with Internet self-efficacy but not with self-regulation. Internet self-efficacy was positively related to self-regulation. The differences of gender, time spent online, and age did not have an impact on Internet self-efficacy or self-regulation.
