Psychological Factors of Cognitive Learning Strategies Formation in Students

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of psychological factors underlying the formation of cognitive learning strategies. The concept ‘cognitive learning strategies’ and their types is explained, the definitions ‘cognitive styles’, ‘learning styles’, ‘metacognition’ were analyzed. The results identify that the psychological characteristics responsible for the formation of cognitive learning strategies are, on the one hand, an ‘orientation towards time’, a ‘need for cognition’ and ‘autonomy’ (the factor of ‘constructing your personal space’), and, on the other hand, self-reflection, high normativity of behavior and self-control (the ‘regulative’ factor).
