In autonomous learning, students need less support from teachers and they can learn independently.
ResponderEliminarAn autonomous learner is independent, critical, participative and self-confident.
In this approach, the teacher does not play a central role.
Autonomous learning emphazises the ability to take charge of one's own learning. The main idea is that students should take responsability for their own learning.
ResponderEliminarLearner autonomy refers to a student's ability to set appropriate learning goals and take charge of his or her own learning. However, autonomous learners are dependent upon teachers to create and maintain learning environments that support the development of learner autonomy.
ResponderEliminarOne of the important roles of the teacher is to assess the students‟ work. Teachers should focus on students‟ success or progress so that a success-oriented learning atmosphere could be created. At the same time the students will be more confident in autonomous learning.
