Learner autonomy
From Teflpedia
Learner autonomy (/lɜ:nər ɔ:tɒnəmi/) is "the ability of students to take charge of [their] own learning.”[1][2]
Learner autonomy is generally seen as a positive, and part of a teacher’s role is to promote learner autonomy.
Dickinson (1993) identified five key factors that define a learner’s autonomy:[3]
- They can identify what has been taught.
- They can formulate their own learning objectives.
- They can select and implement appropriate learning strategies and study techniques.
- They can identify strategies which are not working for them and use others.
- They are able to monitor their own learning process.
