Research On College Students' Autonomous Learning Based On The Credit System

The same as conventional learning, autonomous learning occurs in concrete situations,due to the learner's constant interaction with external environment. This paper makesobservations on the functional relation between external learning environment and individualautonomous learning, studies this subject under a credit system and an educational modelwhich is conducive to autonomous learning in higher education, aiming to encouragestudents' autonomous learning through discussions on feasible and instructive operationmechanism and supporting system of autonomous learning.The logic premise of this paper starts from the rationality of the existence of collegestudents' autonomous learning based on the credit system. The author holds that, in theoreticalplane: autonomous learning, credit system, college students have the common property andindividual property, the common property is represented by the idea of "learn freely",the"human-oriented" education conception,the "individual development" education target, theindividual property is represented by the different relations of the same thing, that is to say,they exit with different aspects during the relation course; The primary and secondaryrelations of the three are fully expressed by the cognitive learning theory, the humanismlearning theory and the constructivism learning theory. That is, college student is the internalsubjective element of learning, the key body of autonomous learning. The credit system is theexternal objective element of learning, also a objective, environmental condition ofconstructivism autonomous learning. In practical plane: compared with the middle schoolstudents and primary school students, college students have the inner and outer requisite forautonomous learning; The credit system safeguards, in systems, the freedom of learners.Exploration on autonomous learning based on the credit system can get an easy access to theinner character and satisfies the students' demands; Compared with other learning forms,autonomous learning is more agreed to college students study character and developregularity, also, it is necessary condition for other learning forms.Education is a kind of activity oriented to process. The learning process is united in theeducation process. The focus of this paper is how to create the operational system of collegestudents' autonomous learning, based on the credit system, in the process of education.According to the author, in the process of education, education activities are dynamic, whichhas its own operational process and sub-process, therefore, it is necessary to explore on the external activities mechanism of college students' autonomous learning based on the creditsystem. Meanwhile, the process of education is the unity of teaching and learning. Whetherthe external activities can stimulate the learner's attention and be processed requires theexplorations on the internal operational system of college students' autonomous learningbased on the credit system. Therefore, the macro-control mechanism, process controlmechanism and individual operational system, which are elaborated in this paper, form theconceptual frame of college students' autonomous learning based on the credit system.Compared with the environment of traditional education, the effects of college students'autonomous learning based on the credit system cover the every process of education. It isnecessary to create integral conditions which go with the substance, the society and theindividual supporting. In the ending part of the paper, detailed supporting systems ofautonomous learning are discussed, such as the supporting system in policies, supportingsystem in educational resources, supporting system in teaching operation, supporting systemof learner's quality.
