Abstract—This study aims to apply the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) established by Pintrich to determine the level of students' motivation and perception and expose them to a Moodle to test the successful use of Self-Regulated Learning on the Learning Management System Moodle Environment. Ninety-six undergraduates (48 in the experimental and 48 in the control group) took part in this quasi-experimental study. The instrument (MSLQ) was tested using Cronbach's Alpha with a reliability coefficient of 0.8 (80%). The data gathered through the MSLQ were analyzed using descriptive statistics. While the data through the achievement test were analyzed using an independent sample t-test. The findings revealed that utilizing Moodle as a learning management system enhances undergraduates' ability to learn independently and motivates them to work hard. It also said that the student's perception of the Learning Management System was positive.
