Influence Study of Learners’ Independent Learning Ability on Learning Performance in Online Learning

Abstract

In this paper, questionnaires regarding the influence of learners’ autonomous learning ability on learning performance in online learning were designed, and the mediating role played by deep learning orientation in the effect of autonomous learning ability on learning performance was analyzed. The results revealed that the overall Cronbach’s α coefficient of the questionnaire was 0.884, the KMO value was 0.817, and the corresponding P value was 0.000, manifesting the good reliability and validity of this questionnaire. The learning performance could be obviously influenced by four aspects of autonomous learning ability: preparation of technology and target plan, utilization of materials in learning contents, regulation of learning process, and evaluation of learning effect. Deep learning orientation played a complete mediating role in the promoting effect of autonomous learning ability on learning performance. Learning frequency exerted a significant (0.01) influence on learning performance. Results are of considerable importance to enriching the literature on online learning environments and the development of autonomous learning ability, helping learners to cultivate autonomous learning ability, and enhancing the effectiveness of guidance provided by teachers to learners in online learning environments.
