Self-directed Learning

EED 18
We frequently hear statements like these from
multigrade teachers.

• Alexa completes the assigned work independently


and with great self-motivation.

• Pat is highly motivated to complete specified


assignments and takes ownership of his own learning
activities.

• Noel takes pride in performing specific tasks with ease


and proficiency.
• How can the teacher keep independent learners’ curiosity and
enthusiasm alive in the classroom?

• What is the current strategy for meeting the needs of


independent learners?
Self- directed Learning
Self-directed learning is defined by Wallace et al (2001) as a process in
which individuals, with or without the assistance of others, take the
initiative in diagnosing their leaning needs, formulating learning goals,
identifying human and material resources for learning, selecting and
implementing appropriate learning strategies, and evaluating learning
outcomes.

- In other words, self-directed learning occurs when students engage in


activities on their own.
Self- directed Learning
Educators think that students may be in charge of their
own learning.
Multigrade learners are encouraged to monitor their learning by
expressing precisely what they have learned, how they have
learned, and what they need to do in order to widen their
learning (Taole. and Cornish, 2017).
Self-directed learning necessitates learners who are entirely
focused, self-confident, and goal-oriented, and who can
accept responsibility for initiating and completing a task.
Modules and others comparable tolls are used in the classroom.
Self- directed Learning
 Self-directed learning in multigrade classrooms encourages students to take
responsibility for their own learning.
 Self-directed learning imparts independent working skills.
 Self-directed learning also assists students in becoming self-
regulated, strategic learners.
 Learners can determine their learning styles since they can see which method of
learning works best for them.
 Learners are assisted in working independently or with minimal assistance from the
teacher.
 Self-directed learning can present a variety of activities such as creative art
and play, simple science and math projects, portfolios, writing a story, and song.
Guidelines in Conducting Self-directed Learning:

1. The teacher establishes high expectations.


2. The teacher keeps students on track.
3. Activity sheets or modules are developed in a step-by-
step method using simple language to ensure the
learners' independent learning
4. The materials have been carefully chosen and are ready
for use.
5. Enough time is given to the students to complete
the activity.
