A Study on Pathways for Cultivating Students' Autonomous Learning Abilities in the Context of Digital Transformation -- From the Perspective of Self-Determination Theory

Rui Yang

Abstract


Amidst the wave of digital transformation in education, cultivating students' autonomous learning abilities has become increasingly
crucial. This is not only a vital cornerstone for enhancing learning outcomes but also an essential requirement for shaping lifelong learners and
nurturing innovative talent. According to Self-Determination Theory, when an individual's three basic psychological needsautonomy, competence and relatednessare met, they are better able to harness intrinsic motivation, thereby achieving self-determined learning behaviour.
The study found that external environmental factors act as a double-edged sword regarding the need for autonomy; complex learning contexts
present both opportunities and challenges, leading to a reduced sense of competence; and the need for relatedness in digital learning environments has a dual nature. To enhance students' autonomous learning abilities, educators should satisfy students' need for autonomy to stimulate
intrinsic motivation; foster a 'sense of competence' to ignite students' drive for autonomous learning; and meet the need for group relatedness
to promote students' autonomous learning.
