Exploring critical factors related to reflection, engagement and self-directed learning

Abstract

This research article describes the effectiveness of the GOAL Project platform in terms of the main critical success factors that have been detected in the literature. These critical success factors of educational platforms include elements such as Perceived Usefulness, Intention of behavior, Satisfaction, Enjoyment and Resource efficiency. Although there is a large amount of literature that has investigated these critical success factors, there is a limited number of articles that relate these factors to the development of other types of skills, such as the student’s reflection on their own learning, student engagement and self -directed learning. This paper also describes the relationship between critical success factors and the skills that are developed in students.
