Construction of Independent Learning Network Platform for Engineering Students based on Metacognition

Abstract

The development of the network technology offers a good platform for independent learning for engineering students. Metacognition theory is introduced into the construction of independent learning network platform. First, relevant researches are summarized. Second, independent online learning and metacognition theory are discussed and the relationship between both are discussed respectively. Next, elements of network independent learning are analyzed, and the independent learning network platform is designed. Then the network platform of "reliability theory" is established, and independent learning effect is is noticed to have improved through actual obtained good independent learning ability.Key words: independent learning, engineering students, metacognition theory, network platform. Construction of Independent Learning

Metacognitive Awareness Perceptions of Students with High and Low Scores on TIMSS-Like Science Tests

“…A good deal of research has examined the relationship between students' metacognition and their attainment of academic goals, and has shown clearly that greater use of metacognitive skills is associated with an improved awareness of what students are studying. It has also been linked with greater attainment of their learning goals, improved reading comprehension, and enhanced independent learning skills (Al-Harthy, Was and Hassan, 2015;Coutinho, 2007;Jaleel and Premachandran, 2016;Rahman and Hussan, 2017;López-Vargas Ibáñez-Ibáñez and Racines-Prada, 2017;Meniado, 2016;Moir, Boyle and Woolfson, 2020;Shubber, Udin and Minghat, 2015;Sutiyatno and Sukarno, 2019;Zhao, 2014). As far back as 1983, Brown et al (1983) had demonstrated significantly that several metacognitive strategies, including self-regulation, planning, evaluating, and monitoring, are relevant to reading comprehension.…”
