The rise and development of the above theories have laid a solid theoretical foundation for the research on the theory and practice of autonomous learning, and studied the basic attributes of autonomous learning, psychological wit, influencing factors of autonomous learning and the cultivation strategies of learners' autonomous learning ability from different perspectives, thus promoting the research and further development of autonomous learning theory intoguiding practice.
