The ability to think critically is the essential talent of the twenty-first century, and it is crucial to college students' learning and growth. The overall level of critical thinking among college students is good, but the development of the dimension of truth-seeking lags behind. The system of critical thinking and the desire for knowledge have a significant positive predictive effect on learning gains. Learning engagement's behavior has been studied to explore the relationship between critical thinking, learning input, and the learning gains of college students. In light of the findings, it is clear that relevant education and teaching enlightenments have been attained, including those that strengthen the cultivation of the truth-seeking spirit, correct deficiencies in college students' critical thinking development, foster curiosity, pierce systematic thinking, and maximize college students' learning gains, as well as those that strengthen the direction of learning input and center on enhancing college students' learning harvest. Additionally, it is crucial to identify the characteristics that influence college students' continued usage of MOOC so that the MOOC platform may optimize its offerings and enhance user experience.
