Abstract

In today’s digitalized world, iPads have become essential learning tools, leading to increased screen time among students, which may significantly impact their self-regulation for learning. This study examines the relationship between iPad screen time for educational, social, and entertainment purposes and self-regulation for learning among Senior High School students of De La Salle Medical and Health Sciences Institute. Using the Self-Regulation for Learning Online (SRL-O) questionnaire, data from 150 students measured iPad usage patterns and self-regulation skills. This descriptive, crosssectional, and correlational study utilized ANOVA to analyze screen time categories and self-regulation skills, including Online Self-Efficacy, Planning and Time Management, Online Effort Regulation, and Online Task Strategies. Findings show respondents use iPads 0-5 hours daily and exhibit moderate self-regulation skills, with higher educational screen time enhancing Online Effort Regulation and reduced entertainment screen time improving focus and knowledge integration.
