A Research On Self Directed Learning

In my self-regulated learning survey results, I learned my strong points in the way I learn and the way I prepare myself to learn. I received a high range in most categories. One high area was metacognition. Metacognition is defined as thinking about your thinking, according to DAACS. It involves being aware of your thoughts and controlling how you approach learning. I am aware of my strengths and weaknesses; therefore, I believe this analysis is true. I know how to fully make myself receptive to what I am learning. I tend to like to plan and prepare myself for what is to come. Another strong area was strategy. Strategies are the procedures people use to enhance their learning, according to DAACS. It connects with planning and knowing your

As we discussed in class, motivation plays an intrinsic role in creating successful self-directed learning. Those who practice this form of learning, in various ways, are driven by personal or external incentives, such as the desire to learn something, or simply for curiosity 's sake, self-esteem and self-efficiency. Because of this self-directed learners are known to take initiative, view issues as challenges to overcome, become confident, have a desire to evolve, and appreciate and seek out learning opportunities (Taylor, 1995).

There are many factors that can have an influence on my learning. One of them is my friends. My friends can influence my learning by distracting me during lessons and also by helping me to catch up on work. In some ways, friends can motivate me because they encourage me to do my work and to get my assignments done on time. They also motivate me because they assist me with my work when I need it instead of waiting to ask a tutor which cannot be done as easily; I can easily call a friend. Friends have a positive influence on me because they are aware of the things that I am doing so that they know what I should be working on, mainly because my friends are all doing the same course as me. A negative affect that they have on my learning is

It is important to take caution when addressing a topic of high controversy, such as racism in our society as compared to racism in societies from hundreds of years ago. Arguments may stem from a simple comparison of the two separate time periods, with some defending the behaviors of the past, while others claim there is no excuse, whatever the year may be, to discriminate against another race. A commonly utilized source for either side of this argument is highly acclaimed literature involving the topic of race, such as Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness. So much controversy surrounds this novel because of the numerous and mighty subjects it tackles, consciously or not, ranging from imperialism to race to gender

On closing the lesson, Rob lacked a well developed warm down which meant that the students finished off the lesson basically from the mini game they were playing, which meant they were highly energised. This is not entirely a bad thing, however this may affect the behaviour of the students in the following lesson. In this time, Rob however did reflect upon some of the skills used by the student in the activity to encourage what they unselfconsciously learnt and developed. I felt that this was a nice way to end of the lesson with the students identifying what they had achieved with many of them walking away with smiles of their faces.

When it comes to the topic of education, most of us will readily agree that as students, we need to be dedicated learners. Where this agreement usually ends, however, is on the question of how we should be educated. Some are convinced that we need to stick with what is currently in place. From this perspective, it is completely unnecessary to do something different if the method being used works. However, others maintain that we need to change. According to this view, people need to move away from what we are comfortable and familiar with in order to be better students. In sum, then, the issue is whether we should keep how our education works the same or not.

My SRL (self-regulated learning) survey suggests that I am prepared for online courses. My overall scores for Metacognition, Strategies, and Motivation were all rated high. My SRL feedback breaks down each of the three scores to a subsection, each subsection gives you detailed analysis on how you should do while attending WGU. I plan on taking the feedback from my SRL and applying to make my studying habits, testing skills, and my new motivation to excel even further in my school career.

In these three short verses, there are significant implications for the role of Moses, Zipporah, and God. Moses, as the leader of the Israelites and the servant of God, had to make himself an example to his people. Circumcision had to be performed in the flesh, manifesting the physical identification as the chosen people. Zipporah, in front of God, accepted the demands and abandoned her original claim. As an alien in the land of Israelites, she dedicated her life to the authority of her husband and God. At the same time, God defended and reestablished his absolute authority in front of his servant and the Israelites, after four hundred thirty years of isolation. If the new generations of Israelites wanted to be blessed by God, they had to

Continuing higher education has a potential to develop attributes such as critical ability and thinking, convenience, communication, and ability to adopt to change, (Levett-Jones, 2005). In particular it becomes evidence that undertaking higher education encouraged me to develop new skills as an illustration on previous experience was not going to be enough. Based on this statement, I were motivated and reinforced to enrol my higher education level via distance learning by provides flexibility in studying while working as a senior state registered nurse. Quinn, (2000), defined that lesson planning is vital for learning process because it ensures that all area of learning are addressed, which results in higher productivity in terms of learning. By identified this new framework of thinking education system I managed to understand the objective and structure of the

The goal of the qualitative phase is to explore Asian doctoral students’ learning strategies and how they use them to enhance their ASI. Self-regulation from a whole process perspective can help to deeply understand how and what transition take place in learning. The three distinct phases of self-regulation are: the forethought phase, the performance phase, and the reflection phase (Zimmerman, 2000). Therefore, when students identify their learning difficulties, I will further ask

Everyone deserves a voice. Nevertheless, the misfortune falls upon those who do not know what to say or how to express it. I believe the root to self-discovery derives from learning. First you learn the basics of life which surrounds you, and, second, you learn to look inward for inspiration. Teaching will give me the chance to share my voice as well as the ability to guide young minds into finding their own.

Unlike the current “spoon-feeding” teaching pattern of Malaysian education system, students have to memorise to cope with studies for the sake of obtaining good grades. As per contra, this theory has its downside. For instance, it does not have solid research in classroom, due to the limited research to exhibit the effectiveness of this theory implementing in school (Armstrong, 2009, para.7). Nevertheless, the education system should not restrain students to only pursue academic success, instead it should provide platforms for pupils to exert and develop their abilities freely. When the education is matured and students’ potentials are allowed to develop without restriction, students like Ganesan will certainly enjoy going to school with enthusiasm because he can perform his talents in and outside classroom without
