  Introduction Top


Cognitive research and theories in explaining the learning and academic performance emphasize on the matter that learners use cognitive strategies when acquiring, storing, and remembering the information and ignore the role of motivational variables.[1] “E-learning” is one of the important and favorable topics of the scientific society, which attempts to discover the learning complexities' aspects and to facilitate human being's learning.[2] On the one hand, none of the motivational and cognitive variables alone can explain the learning and learners' educational performance, but learning and performance of the learners can be explained better using self-directed learning strategies and considering the interaction between “cognitive” and “motivational” variables.[3] Accordingly, we have witnessed the development and expansion of various theoretical frameworks about “self-directed learning,” which agree and share in the existence of cognitive, metacognitive, and emotional components in learning, in the recent decades.[4] Self-direction in learning refers to the active involvement of the learner in behavioral, motivational, cognitive, and metacognitive terms in learning process in order to maximize learning.[5] Ferla et al. have divided learning strategies into cognitive and metacognitive strategies.[6] Self-regulated learning theory is among the other outstanding theories in the field of self-regulated learning strategies, and the interplay between motivational variables and (cognitive and metacognitive) learning strategies in learning and academic performance of learners is emphasized in this model.[7],[8] Recent researches indicate the importance of learning strategies in facilitating the learning, remembering, and reminding processes, and show the cognitive transformation role in utilizing the learning strategies.[9],[10] The results of a research by Abili et al. (2017) indicate a significant causal relationship between motivational beliefs and cognitive and metacognitive strategies with academic achievement.[11] E-learning can be mentioned among the new ways of learning with regard to the increasing advancements[12] and cyber-learning with amazing references and facilities including the lack of need to location, have interactive information in specialized is one of it's prominent feature.[13] E-learning has unique abilities to support asynchronous and collaborative communication in a dynamic and adaptive training environment.[14] Like many of the changes that technology has made in our lives, e-learning is a cause of concern to some experts.[15] E-learning is defined in different ways, and different definitions of e-learning, online learning, technology-enhanced learning, and distance learning overlap with each other.[16] Studies by Bahreini et al. have shown that the level of well-being and emotional interactions are among the essential components in learning route;[17] individuals with a high sense of well-being experience positive emotions and have a positive evaluation of the learning pathway in the events and occurrences around themselves.[18] In general, emotional well-being is defined as the development of the real emotional talents of an individual, and an increase in the capacity of positive states and a reduction of negative states of emotions are defined as optimal well-being.[19] Zanjani et al. showed that there is a significant relationship between the components of self-directed learning readiness with e-learning acceptance and academic achievement.[20],[21] Qureshi et al. showed that software-based training of native e-learning model impacts on self-direction in students' learning and its components (self-management, willingness to learn, and self-control).[21] Lamb and Snodgrass showed that among the requirements for improving teachers' efficiency in emotionally dealing with e-training issues is to pay attention to positive and negative orientation patterns of their lives and the extent of cognitive strategies in these interactions.[5] Hsu and Lin showed that the extent of metacognitive guidance by the teachers for the learners could play a substantial role in enhancing the improved environment in e-learning.[15] D'Errico et al. showed that enhanced emotional well-being and emotional interactions cause an increase in students' participation in e-learning processes.[18] Bannert et al. showed that the short-term and long-term effects of students' metacognitive patterns impact on self-control behavior, self-direction, and e-learning performance.[7]

In summary, as the basis of e-training is pervasive oriented, even with regard to the verbal meaning (literal sense) of the word “pervasive,” meaning someone who must himself/herself seek to acquire knowledge and science, e-training provides the correct example of this word. Interactions in cyberspace are not limited to the walls of classrooms, books of one or more libraries, and a limited number of professors and students, but provide a classroom with an immense area of cyberspace without time and spatial constraints with the student. Web has a high potential to establish a very high convergence and cost reduction in delivering educational materials. The basic structure and concept of the worldwide web is the source of information storage and a tool to retrieve them, while e-learning technology is not limited by time and space. The cyberspace broadens the social interaction of participatory learning and changes its structure. From the educational viewpoint, e-learning should also be considered from the perspective of the nature of human being's interaction as shown in [Figure 1], so the main question of the present research, have effect metacognitive learning and self-directed learning on the level of e-learning mediated by the role of emotional well-being in the managers of Mazandaran province universities?

  Material and Methods Top


The present study was a cross-sectional research. The statistical population of this research consisted of 478 managers in Mazandaran province universities in 2019 (Universities including medical, marine sciences and Islamic Azad University) in Mazandaran province, and 260 individuals were selected as the sample size in an available method in this research to specify the sample size with regard to the number of observed variables and allocation of the coefficient of 15 for each observed variable (17 variables observed in the model), considering the probability of the existence of incomplete questionnaires.

Inclusion in the research criteria

Managers (including medical and marine sciences in Islamic Azad University) of Mazandaran province universities, with minimum educational qualification of bachelor's degree, within the age range of 30–60 years, belonging to Mazandaran province, those with agreement to participate in the research project, those with lack of existence of illness or physical problems that interfere in the project, as well as those with the absence of uncontrolled psychotic and mood disorders were included in the study.

Exclusion criteria were incomplete questionnaires and insufficient accuracy in completing the questionnaires.

In executive process, before starting the sampling, the participants were informed about the purpose of the study and maintaining the confidentiality of the materials and concurrently, informed consent was received from the students about the samples' participation in the research, and then the questionnaires were received from the samples. In addition, the present study is registered at Azad University of Chalus by the code of ethics IR.IAU.CHALUS.REC.1398.034.

The collected data were analyzed using structural regression equations using SPSS 18 and Amos 23 software (SPSS 18, Amos 23, Stanford University, California, USA).

Research tool

Emotional Well-Being Scale

Having 12 questions, the Emotional Well-Being Scale by Keyes et al. (2002) is used to measure the emotional well-being and has both positive and negative aspects.[22] It is scored using a 5-choice Likert's scale ranging from 1 = strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree. The validity of construct and content was confirmed by the developers, and the reliability was 0.84 and 0.87 for positive and negative aspects, respectively, by Cronbach's alpha method. In Golestanibakht's study, the validity of construct and content was confirmed and reliability was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha method for positive and negative aspects at 0.79 and 0.83, respectively.[23] In the present research, the reliability by Cronbach's alpha method for positive and negative aspects was 0.77 and 0.80, respectively.

Metacognitive Learning Strategies Questionnaire

The Metacognitive Learning Strategies Questionnaire was designed by Pintrich with 47 questions.[24] Resource management and metacognitive strategies 9 question as follows: planning, monitoring and control, effort and perseverance, and policing activity. It is scored based on a 5-choice Likert scale ranging from 1 = strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree. The validity of construct and content was confirmed by the developers, and reliability through Cronbach's alpha method for planning, monitoring and control, effort and perseverance, policing activity, and the total in Cronbach's alpha method were 0.89, 0.87, 0.75, 0.83 and 0.74 respectively. Validity of the construct and content was confirmed in Mousavi Nejad's research and reliability through Cronbach's alpha method for planning, monitoring and control, effort and perseverance, policing activity, and the total were 0.82, 0.84, 0.65, 0.80 and 0.71 respectively.[25] In the present research, reliability in Cronbach's alpha method for planning, monitoring and control, effort and perseverance, policing activity and the total were obtained 0.80, 0.81, 0.63, 0.77 and 0.7, respectively.

Self-Directed Learning Scale

The Self-Directed Learning Scale developed by Cheng et al. comprises twenty questions and four sub-scales including learning motivation, planning, and implementation; self-monitoring; and interpersonal relationship.[26] It is evaluated based on a 5-choice Likert scale with scoring ranging from 1 = strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree, and the validity of construct and content was confirmed by the developers and reliability was 0.76, 0.75, 0.86, 0.8 and 0.91, respectively by Cronbach's alpha method for learning motivation, planning and implementation, self-monitoring, interpersonal relationship and total tool. In Nadi and Fooladvand's research, the validity of construct and content was confirmed and reliability was 0.72, 0.7, 0.81, 0.78 and 0.88, respectively by Cronbach's alpha method for learning motivation, planning and implementation, self-monitoring, interpersonal relationship and total tool.[27] In the present research, reliability was 0.7, 0.72, 0.84, 0.71 and 0.88, respectively by Cronbach's alpha method for learning motivation, planning and implementation, self-monitoring, interpersonal relationship and total tool.

Standardized E-Learning Questionnaire

Watkins et al.'s Standardized E-Learning Questionnaire has 27 questions and six subscales of access to technology, continuous communication skill, motivation, learning ability through media, and group online conversations, which are key to success in e-learning.[28] It is evaluated based on a 5-choice Likert scale with scoring ranging from 1 = strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree, and the validity of construct and content was confirmed by the developers and reliability was 0.84, 0.73, 0.69, 0.81, 0.84, 0.79, and the total 0.88, respectively by Cronbach's alpha method. In Iran, Zajerdi and Leghaie confirmed the construct and content's validity and reliability was 0.81, 0.66, 0.62, 0.74, 0.80, 0.73 and its total 0.85 respectively in Cronbach's alpha method.[29] In the present research, reliability in Cronbach's alpha method was 0.84, 0.61, 0.65, 0.70, 0.82, 0.75 and the total 0.83, respectively.

  Discussion Top


The purpose of the present research was to investigate the mediating role of emotional well-being on the impact of metacognitive learning and self-directed learning on the level of e-learning in universities' managers and with regard to the final model of the research, the impacts of direct and indirect paths of 63% of e-learning variable can be explained by metacognitive learning, self-directed learning, and emotional well-being in total. In general, the research model was approved. In this regard, Zanjani et al. showed that there is a significant relationship between the components of learning self-direction readiness with e-learning acceptance and academic achievement.[20] Qureshi et al. showed that software-based training of native e-learning model has an impact on students' learning self-direction and its components (self-management, willingness to learn, and self-control).[21] Lamb and Snodgrass showed that among the requirements for improving teachers' efficiency in emotionally dealing with e-training issues is to pay attention to positive and negative orientation patterns of their lives and the extent of cognitive strategies in these interactions.[5] Hsu and Lin showed that the extent of metacognitive guidance by the teachers for the learners could play a substantial role in enhancing an improved environment in e-learning.[15] D'Errico et al. showed that enhanced emotional well-being and emotional interactions cause an increase in students' participation in e-learning processes.[18] Bannert et al. showed that the short-term and long-term effects of students' metacognitive patterns impact on self-control behavior, self-direction, and e-learning performance.[7]

In metacognitive learning, metacognition state is another type of metacognition in which one's transient and variable states in rational situations are defined and vary in intensity at different times and include planning, monitoring, self-correction, cognitive-emotional strategies, and self-awareness.[30] Metacognitive learning affects managers' goal-setting, self-regulation, and planning, which can influence cognitive-behavioral motivations as well as performance in a variety of situations including in using cyberspace. Therefore, the metacognitive state will help to improve the level of managers' performance.[19] On the other hand, one of the cognitive processes involved in human learning process is problem-solving. Problem-solving, as a cognitive process of higher levels, interacts with many other cognitive processes such as abstraction, searching, learning, decision-making, inference, and analysis.[31] In general, metacognitive learning is a function of the degree of interaction, affection, companionship, and attention of family members, friends, and other individuals in this age range. Some perceive the social support as a social reality and some do it due to one's perception.[17] Actual support is the type and frequency of specific supportive interactions by which the individual receives instrument, emotional, and informational supports from other individuals in social relationships, and individuals make use of the supportive sources to meet their needs based on social relationships and the type of links they have so that the wider the social relationships in the training environment, the greater the access to supportive resources, and possibly these social support resources can enhance metacognitive learning and improve efficiency or learning and act as a defensive umbrella against stressful factors at this time interval.[7] One of the outcomes and products of effective metacognitive learning seems to be proper emotional well-being. Empathetic or emotional well-being refers to resources associated with having those to whom one can refer for empathy and sense of confidence. People who have enough emotional resources typically feel that they have other individuals to whom they can refer when dealing with problems.

Achieving a better emotional well-being seems to be one of the main motivations in and toward cyberspace, but the support that is apparently beneficial on the individual's side[32] will not actually make a positive effect on the person, but with regard to the speculation that the social support is achieved by cyberspace connection sooner and easier with less responsibility, it can be stated that self-efficacy has always been posed in a tendency to behave differently in different situations, even the tendency has been named as a mechanism for emotion regulation. In addition, metacognitive learning strategies are among the most important determinants of individuals' responsiveness to their personal well-being, and increased use of maladaptive strategies is associated with pathology and development and persistence of disorders, which is due to effective metacognitive states.

The statistical population being limited to all managers of the universities (including medical sciences and marine sciences in Islamic Azad University) in Mazandaran province, not considering demographic characteristics such as ethnicity and ethnic culture as control variables, can be mentioned as the limitations of the research. This study was limited to year 2019. The cross-sectional nature of the research method in a way that the individuals' psychological and mental states and personal status in the interval of completing the instruments influence on how the instruments were completed was another limitation. In addition, reliance on individuals' mental reports is one of the most important limitations of the research, which may lead to bias in its reports.


  Conclusions Top


This research showed that emotional well-being has a mediating effect in the impact of metacognitive learning and self-directed learning on the level of e-learning in university managers and 0.63 of the scattering of e-learning variable is affected by metacognitive learning, self-directed learning and emotional well-being. It is suggested that using training packages can lead to improved level of effective learning strategies and optimized relationships, and ultimately, it can improve e-learning level with regard to the existing intervention patterns to use managers' emotional management and metacognitive strategies.
