This systematic review aims to identify the divergence among the chosen articles and compare their research methods, participants, and main results. Searching by configured technique and synthesizing the relationship between Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and autonomous learning, we found that 1) researchers often select college students as their preferred participants for studies; 2) qualitative research orientated articles focused on explaining conception theories and often reach to a longitudinal conclusion; 3) quantitative articles employed educational experiment and practice methods and draw a cross-sectional conclusion; 4) mix-method articles adopted questionnaire, interview and document analysis and make conclusions with better validity.
