Moreover, Tsai and Chuang (2005) concluded that metacognitive activities play an essential role in Internet-based learning environments; therefore, there is a need for educators to improve students’ epistemic beliefs to facilitate the utilization of metacognitive activities in Internet-based environments. In addition, it was concluded that there is a need to better understand the instructional environments that support students to develop more sophisticated reasoning and beliefs about knowledge (Hofer 1994; Schommer 1990). Accordingly, it is suggested that further research should be carried out on the instructional methods for developing students’ skills in identifying Internet-based knowledge to facilitate their access to and use of Internet-based knowl- edge by improving their ability to justify the wealth of information with multiple resources, and identify the appropriate knowledge located on the Internet. Hopefully, this may be helpful in encouraging students to adopt self-regulated learning while searching for academic information on the Internet on their own.
