An Investigation into the Autonomy of Research Methodology Students at HUST-SOFL CONTENTS RESEARCHER’S AND TOPIC BACKGROUND PURPOSE OF THE STUDY CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK RESEARCH QUESTIONS RESEARCH DESIGN DATA ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS IMPLICATIONS AND CONCLUSION RESEARCHER’S AND TOPIC BACKGROUND • Senior Students – K58 • Concern about the autonomy in learning • Research the fact of HUST-SOFL students • Focus on Research Methodology subject PURPOSE OF THE STUDY • Understand learner autonomy more clearly • Understand importance of learner autonomy in language learning • Investigate the characteristics of autonomous learner • Recommend solutions to promote learner autonomy CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK Definition of learner autonomy: - Holec (1981): Philosophical background - Benson (1997): Theoretical background - Fener and Newby (2000): Pedagogical background (as cited in Çakici, 2015) Characteristics of autonomous learners: - Dickinson (1993): four main characteristics (as cited in Çakici, 2015) - Chan (2001): eleven characteristics - Borg and Al-Busaidi (2012): six characteristics wellorganized Autonomous Learners wellmanaged goaloriented RESEARCH QUESTIONS ● What qualities have autonomous Research Methodology students at HUST-SOFL had? ● How autonomously have Research Methodology students at HUST-SOFL performed?
