Research On Web-based Autonomous Learning Based On Knowledge Management

With the rapid development of network technologies, web-based autonomouslearning has become an important way to implement lifelong education. However, theinefficiencies in web-based autonomous learning have severely affected the process ofeducational informationization and life-long education. In the background of knowledgeeconomy, knowledge management is the key measures to improve individualautonomous learning ability and breed study organization. That the paper discusses onthe web-based autonomous learning from the perspective of knowledge management isonly in line with the country’s strategic direction of establishing a life-long educationsystem, but also meet the need of improving individual autonomous learning ability,which has important theoretical and practical value.The paper proceeds from the present state of web-based autonomous learning andanalyzes its six core elements including learning motivation, metacognitive ability, theability of utilizing resources, cognitive ability, self-motivation and the ability to workwith others. Developing all-around research in-depth for the theory of knowledgemanagement, the article reveals that the implement process of knowledge managementincludes six steps: the identification, the acquisition, the processing, the storage, thesharing, the transfer, the application and the innovation of knowledge. The paperexplains the inherent logical consistency between the six core elements of web-basedautonomous learning and the implement process of knowledge management. Thereforeshows that knowledge management has certain theoretical guidance to improveweb-based autonomous learning.The problem this thesis focuses on: How to apply the knowledge managementtheory to cultivate the ability of web-based autonomous learning. For this reason, the paper introduces "practice community" concept andrespectively expounds the relationship between and among practice community,knowledge management and web-based autonomous learning. So far, the respectiverelationships between the two within knowledge management, web-based autonomouslearning and practice community have been discussed. With that, the paper establishes aweb-based autonomous learning model based on practice community, combing themodern cognitive theory, and has made the empirical research around on this model.Based on the practice model, the paper analyzes the influence factors of web-baseautonomous learning and its stage where the study participants are——primary stage——by using the questionnaire (Pretest) and tracks the operation process of practicecommunity. After the experiment, the result of study was validated through thequestionnaire (Posttest), case analysis and so on. The result of experiment and verifyproves that web-based autonomous learning began to have more obvious features ofintermediate stage. Through the empirical survey analysis, the paper bores out that theknowledge management level has positive correlation to the ability of web-basedautonomous learning, and proves that practice community plays a very important role asa bridge in the cohesion between knowledge management and web-based autonomouslearning.
