Abstract: The study intends to investigate that whether the proposed reflective evaluation learning system can bring positive learning effects on technical-vocational school students| learning process. Viewing that students in technical-vocational high schools and universities do not have confidence and motivation to learn, the researchers propose the reflective evaluation learning system to let students realise themselves and their learning environment and further to identify their own strengths and preferences in order to facilitate their learning process and to maximise their learning outcome. The research results reveal that the students going through the reflective evaluation learning system have greater satisfaction in terms of instructional objective, instructional material/method, teacher|s qualities, class climate/environment and assessment. After going through the reflective evaluation learning system for internal and external analysis, students can recognise their learning strengths and weaknesses as well as the outside favourable and unfavourable situations.

Keywords: reflective evaluation learning system; technical-vocational school students; learning motivation; learning performance; high schools; universities; learning process; learning outcomes.
