Learning Management in Higher Education: A Data Note

<ns7:p>Background Learning management in university settings involves various elements that enable students to be aware and independent throughout their professional education. Method This data report presents findings from a quantitative, correlational study aimed at evaluating learning management among university students in Latin America. The study employed the GAEU-1 Scale, an instrument designed to assess four core dimensions of learning management in university students: conscious motivational strategies, perception of academic performance, use of deep learning techniques, and overall self-regulation of the learning process. The dataset includes responses from 1316 undergraduate students, with 631 participants from Chile and 685 from Ecuador. Data collection adhered to ethical standards, and participants gave informed consent prior to participation. Results The findings of this research help to elucidate the contribution of the four factors involved in the process of conscious learning among university students. For the majority of questionnaire items applied to the participants, between 27% and 58% of students reported that they moderately or strongly agreed with the statements presented. Conclusions This dataset offers valuable insights into the functioning and interaction of learning management components in diverse educational contexts. Researchers and educators may find this data valuable for exploring how learning management operates across different cultural settings, identifying predictors of academic performance, and designing interventions to enhance self-regulation skills in university students. The comprehensive nature of this dataset supports further empirical analysis and the development of evidence-based strategies for improving learning outcomes in higher education.</ns7:p>
