doctor said and did ….
“The hardest thing to get into the mind
of the beginner is that the education
upon which he is engaged is . . . a life
course, for which the work of a few
years under teachers is a preparation.”
Self Directed Learning

A willingness and ability to take charge of one’s own learning


“willingness” = motivation
“ability” = knowledge, skills
“take charge” = personal responsibility

1975, Malcolm
Knowles
If students are self-directed, then why do they
need a teacher?  

• SDL is NOT a solitary and isolated process.

• Learner is independent and NOT the learning

• highly interdependent, collaborative, and cooperative

• “SDL is characterized as comprising the skills and abilities necessary


for engaging in independent and social learning processes as
determined by the individual learner”

Brookfield, 2009.
Role of a Teacher in SDL environment

1. Content Resource
2. Resource locator
3. Interest Stimulator
4. Positive Attitude generator
5. Creativity and Critical thinking Stimulator
6. Evaluation stimulator

E-learTerTerminolning, Web-based Tleating
Terminologies in Technologically driven
learning

• E-learning activities involving computers and


interactive networks simultaneously..
Online learning, Distance learning
• Computer assisted instruction

• Distance learning
Interaction at a distance between instructor and
learners, and enables timely instructor reaction to
learners.
Some tools and strategies
• Online Learning : It exposes students to a
wide range of resources available online,
covering their areas of interests, which they
can learn at their own pace, personally.

• Online learning increases the effectiveness in


student learning.
• Free OER: 
Open Educational Resources are quality
resources provided for learning, for free

Through these resources students are able to


learn any subject they want on their own, and
the constant need for a teacher is eliminated
Personal Learning Networks :  

• Form the core of passionate self-directed


learning.
• These can be created through blogs, social
networks such as, Twitter, Facebook, etc.
• They facilitate collaboration which helps in
self-directed learning.
• Video-conferencing tools :
Tools like Skype, Zoom etc help turn
classrooms into global communication centers
for free

Students can connect with anyone around the


world, to discuss topics of their interest, and
with experts or educators to learn from
• Self-publishing :
• It can be used by students to reach an
audience beyond their teacher.
• They can share their ideas and work with real
audiences outside of their schools.
• This is made possible through blogging or
social sites.
• Twitter :
It helps students create micro-blogs, through
which they can connect with the people who
share their interests.
They can follow them, reply to them and use
the search term in their tweets for others to
see what they share.
• YouTube/iTunes :
YouTube adds the visual element to make
learning more powerful.
Both these platforms are used by school and
college/university professors to share content
for free.
They empower students and teachers to design
their own learning.
• ePortfolios :
• These help students keep track of their own
achievements and share them with others.
They are free and easy to create

• blog, wiki or website where they can


organize it and post their work.
• Self-assessment :
Students instead of relying on teachers to get evaluated,
should assess themselves by;

sharing their work with others to get feedback for


improvement

practice tests on a test prep and review site,


create videos and look for views,
develop their own learning 
Learning management system( LMS)

•  Software application for the administration,


documentation, tracking, reporting and delivery of
electronic educational technology courses or training
programs

• LMS performs student registration, tracks learner


progress, records test scores, and indicates course
completions and finally it allows trainers to assess the
performance of their learners
