In this borderless world, learning has a wide variety, as people could seek knowledge almost everywhere as long as they have an internet connection.Learning strategies also become more flexible depending on the purpose of the learners.This study explores learning strategies using social cognitive theory, inclusive of behaviour, personal factors, and environment.A quantitative survey was conducted via online questionnaire, and 128 respondents participated in the survey questionnaires consisting of diploma and degree students from various faculties in public universities in Malaysia.Findings of the study revealed that students used behaviour, personal, and environment as part of their learning strategies.As a suggestion for future research, a bigger sample size is needed and could mix between qualitative and quantitative data in the future.
