What do students need to think about and learn to become more "self-directed"?
"Teacher!? What am I supposed to do?"
"Teacher!? Am I doing this right?" If we want students to truly become life-long learners, they need to learn the skills and dispositions required to self-manage, self-monitor, and self-modify their learning efforts? So as teachers, what do we need to help them learn to do and think about? |
