Self directed learning
- 1. SELF-DIRECTED LEARNING By Gloria Rincón Cardenas Centro School
- 2. SELF-DIRECTED LEARNING For Knowles (1975), "self-directed learning describes a process in which individuals take the initiative, with or without the help of others, in diagnosing their learning needs, formulating learning goals, identifying human and material resources for learning, choosing and implementing appropriate learning strategies, and evaluating learning outcomes." (p18)
- 3. SELF-DIRECTED LEARNING STAGES By Grow ( 1991). Dependent students: they need to be coached and motivated to be more responsible with their learning. Motivated students: They need to be encouraged to reflect and self-manage their learning. Engaged learners: they need to be guided to explore new topics, participate in decision making, work more collaboratively and interactively, and use of new technologies. Self-directed learners: they plan, monitor and assess their own learning process. What kind of student are you?
- 4. Teachers’ role in self-directed learning Facilitators: They empower the students with relevant resources, methods and evaluative techniques in order that they participate actively in their learning process. Encouragers: They foster the use of self-access materials to be self-directed learners. Designers: They create Self-Access Materials. What of these roles does your English teacher play?
- 5. Self-Access Materials Self-access materials offer a range of learning styles and encourage students to reflect on their learning process (Reinders, 2010). ICT usage provides students with more resources to practice at any time and in any place. Can you make a list of possible Self- Access Materials?
