Describe the essential aspects of a self-directed, intrinsically motivated, active learner? A self-directed learner is an individual who is able to take the initiative into their own development. In a self-directing environment that the student creates, he or she assumes all responsibilities in regards to their learning progress as a whole. A person who is self-directed can identify their strengths and weaknesses based on their own ability to define what needs to be improved. Someone who is able
ABSTRACT Reading comprehension (RC) is a major component of language learning, and finding an appropriate and effective way for teaching it, was considered by many researchers. However, one effective way for achieving this goal can be using jigsaw reading technique. This study aimed at identifying whether co-learning strategy can affect on RC by using the Jigsaw reading technique for learners who really need English for their present work through a tailored course that combines the language and the
from other people to facilitate their steps. A student who is a Self – directed, intrinsically motivated, active learner is able to: Plan on his own what he wants to study, plan effectively when to study, what they want to achieve from their studies and be able to monitor the progress of the same. These students should be able to gather morale from anticipated challenges in their learning while achieving
Meanwhile, the Theory of Experiential Learning Cycle by David Kolb (Kolb, 1984) is also relevant to this study. Experiential Learning Theory (ELT) defines learning as “the process whereby knowledge is created through the transformation of experience”. Knowledge results from the combination of grasping and transforming experience. According to him the Experiential Learning Theory model portrays two dialectically related modes of grasping experience; Concrete Experience and Abstract Conceptualization
Effective learning is seen when a person progresses through a cycle of four stages: of (1) having a concrete experience followed by (2) observation of and reflection on that experience which leads to (3) the formation of abstract concepts (analysis) and generalizations (conclusions) which are then (4) used to test hypothesis in future situations, resulting in new experiences(Kolb 2008). However, effective learning only occurs when a learner is able to execute all four stages of the model. Therefore
recognising strengths and weaknesses allows an individual to develop their own lifelong learning ability. The importance of developing lifelong learning is discussed in this assignment. The final purpose of the essay is to demonstrate an understanding of reflection and how reflective practice can support an individual’s own personal and professional learning development. Nicol (2016) stated that “reflection is a method of using
nursing education, and especially how learning is being affected by the use of simulation in teaching. In published and unpublished materials, several authors have examined the different dimensions through which learning can be enhanced by the use of simulation. Constructivism Constructivism places the learner in an active role rebuilding their knowledge based on new experiences. Constructism is a theory that permits learners to be actively involved in the learning process Delgarno (2001) cited three
Learning is a step by step, progressive and most vital activity where individuals build, develop and improve knowledge.” Learning is not consumption, it is knowledge production” (Day, 2004, p 105). Learning is a lifelong process that makes human species different from other species on earth. According to John Locke, human mind at birth is a blank slate, tabula rasa. People learn differently, at different times and circumstances, so I believe children learn through observation and imitation, which
1). The original purpose of Twitter is to enable online users to send and receive 140-character messages, which then became one of the biggest social media networks in our era. In her article “Twitter as a Teaching Practice to Enhance Active and Informal Learning in Higher Education: The Case of Sustainable Tweets” Eva Kassens-Noor analyzes the use of Twitter in higher education and gives feedback on her study in her sustainable course. Noor educates people on how Twitter is effective in ways that
Standard #9: Professional Learning and Ethical Practice. Wong and Wong discuss a lot of aspects that come together to make an effective teacher, but one they reiterate throughout The First Days of School is that a “professional educator is always learning and growing” (Wong & Wong, p. 301), and standard 9 of the InTASC Standards addresses just this. Professional learning is not limited to attending conferences or joining a professional organization, though these things are extremely important, it
