• Resumen

  • This study examined the combined effects of student learning competency and e-learning implementation on the learningoutcomes of engineering students from a series of blended distance education courses. A total of 1,323 valid questionnaireresponses were analysed to determine the effects. The results indicated that learning competency comprised two factors,namely scientific literacy and self-regulated learning; e-learning implementation comprised two factors, namely onlinematerial guidance and distance teaching quality; and learning outcome also consisted of two factors, namely multi-disciplinary learning outcome and fundamental learning outcome. The results also suggested that the scientific literacy andself-regulated learning factors positively predicted the multidisciplinary and fundamental learning outcome factorsthrough the mediators of online material guidance and distance teaching quality. The effects of self-regulated learning andonline material guidance on both types of learning outcomes were greater than those that resulted from scientific literacyand distance teaching quality.
