Abstract
With the convenience brought by Internet technology and gradually affecting students’ learning ways, this study investigated the role of global/sequential cognitive style, intrinsic motivation, self-regulated learning, and information problem solving in the transmedia searching environment. A total of 89 national Taiwanese senior vocational high school students participated in this study, most of them are in the engineering major. Quantitative methods were applied for data analysis. The questionnaires were used to analyze students’ cognitive styles, intrinsic motivation, self-regulated learning, and information problem solving in the transmedia searching environment. The result showed that (1) Students’ cognitive style of sequential significantly predicted their self-regulated learning in the transmedia searching environment. (2) Students’ cognitive style of sequential significantly predicted their information problem solving in the transmedia searching environment. (3) Students’ intrinsic motivation significantly predicted their self-regulated learning in the transmedia searching environment. (4) Students’ intrinsic motivation significantly predicted their information problem solving in the transmedia searching environment. Finally, instructional design, suggestions and future research were provided.
