摘要为了确保远程高等教育的教学质量,本研究旨在探索提升学生学习能力的潜在可能性。通过对在读远程学习者的学习体验进行在线问卷调查,本研究发现:学生缺乏对远程学习特点的认知,在自我学习中完成学习任务有一定的难度;应对问题的能力欠缺导致更强的孤独感;生活和学习上的经验可以带动元认知能力的发展。基于此,本文建议提高学生的元认知能力可以通过三个途径来实现:提高学生对远程教育特色和学习要求的认知度、在远程教育中传授学习理论和教育心理学知识、为远程学习者提供学习策略的知识。最后本研究建议以开放包容的心态对学习支持尤为重要;远程教育的发展要重视其自身特色和强化学生在终身学习能力上的优势。 This study set out to explore the potentials for enhancing learning, a factor which impacts on quality assurance in higher education. An online questionnaire survey was conducted of distance learners' learning experience. Results from the survey indicate that the participants were not aware of the characteristics of distance learning, had difficulty in completing learning activities in their autonomous learning, and experienced a strong sense of loneliness due to lack of abilities to deal with learning difficulties. Results suggest that students' experience both in life and study can facilitate the development of metacognitive ability. In the light of these results, three approaches are proposed to enhancing students' metacognitive ability. First, students should be better aware of the characteristics and learning requirements of distance education. Second, learning theories and educational psychology should be integrated into the curriculum of distance education programs. Third, learning strategy materials should be provided for students.
