Week 7: Learner Autonomy.
During this week the autonomous learning was the most interesting issue to be treated, I found this topic really useful to implement in class, because autonomy and sufficiency are two requirements for leading succeful students, who are responsible with their own learning, the autonomous learners are able to solve problems, evaluate, reflect and develop new ideas and satisfy necessities by own, with a minimal help of teacher.
Teachers who implement this process create an environment where giving birth opportunities to fly by themselves and go wherever they want, they will land on autonomy directly, it can be applied with projects where students manage and get the information elaborating a draft which contains all aspects of the project, including the result, so technology is a great allied that contribute to get this purpose, because the students are involved in the cybernetic era.
Hi Marisol
ResponderEliminarThere is a Chinese proverb on auonomous behaviour you talk about. Chinese Proverb; "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day . Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. ..."
Once a Chinese fisherman was fishing and somebody came and asked hime for a gift of the fish he had caught. The fisherman was generous and gifted it on request and the day after too. on the third day he taught the visitor to fish. It is good to make everybody self-reliant.
Isn't this what the article is trying to say? Of course, I understand, a lot more. But the basics are about this.
I wonder if you agree or disagree with me.
So see you soon online

ResponderEliminarI agree, technology is an ally, not the goal. Technology clearly helps facilitate the shifting roles.
