BALLEN, Diana. The Role of Blogs and Web Resources in Students' Autonomous Learning Awareness. How [online]. 2014, vol.21, n.2, pp.10-30. ISSN 0120-5927.  https://doi.org/10.19183/how.21.2.2.

This article focuses on the way in which technology-based activities may shape and characterize students' awareness of their own learning processes and their understanding of autonomy. The study was carried out at a public university in Colombia. Data collection was done through the implementation of class observations, a survey, and some focus groups. Two categories emerged from data analysis which supported the preliminary finding that technology-based activities can be conceived of as a starting point in students' autonomous decisions about their learning.

Keywords : Autonomy; learning processes awareness; technology in language education.
