The Effect of Learning Management on and Learning Activities through Moderation of Learning Readiness Variables

This research analyzed the effect of learning management on learning activities both directly and through moderating learning readiness variables. This research was an ex-post facto type of quantitative research carried out at the  Universitas Muhammadiyah Makassar. The research variables consist of exogenous variables, namely learning management, endogenous variables, namely learning activities, and learning readiness as an intervening variable. The samples were 532 participants obtained through random sampling technique. The data collection technique used a questionnaire which  measured using a scale of 1-5. The collected data was then analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the help of the Analysis of Momalet Structure (AMOS) program. The research results show that: 1) Learning management had a significant and positive effect on learning readiness with an effect of 33.64%; 2) Learning management has a positive effect on learning activities, but the effect is still low, namely 2.25% or not significant; 3) Learning readiness has a significant and positive effect on learning activities with an effect of 73.70%; 4) Learning management has a significant and positive effect on learning activities through learning readiness with an effect of 24.8%. The findings of this research explain that learning readiness is the most important variable possessed by students, because learning readiness was found to have any effect on learning activities both directly and as a moderating variable. Therefore, it was recommended that for students to further increase their readiness in learning, lecturers sholuld continue to motivate students to increase their readiness in participating in learning, and advanced researchers are advised to develop strategies that can increase students' learning readiness.
