Student-Centered/Self-Directed Learning Flashcards
Student-Centered Learning
learning approach which students generate learning opportunities and reconstruct knowledge in an open-ended learning environment (Lee & Hannafin, 2016)
What is student-centered learning designed for?
designed for students to assume a more active role in learning by assuming responsibilities to organize, analyze and synthesize (Lee & Hannafin, 2016)
Problem-based learning
students work collaboratively in group to identify what/how to learn to solve problem (Lee & Hannafin, 2016)
Project-based learning
students engaged in challegning, complex project that is similar to those they might encounter in real world (Lee & Hannafin, 2016)
Case-Based Approach
students review realistic scenario that represents problem to solve, discuss with peers, evaluate proposed solutions and reflect on what is learned/needs to be learned (Lee & Hannafin, 2016)
Student-Centered Learning Activities
activities engage students in a challenging, real-life task with technology as a tool for learning, communication and collaboration (Lee & Hannafin, 2016)
What occurs during student-centered learning?
students experience diverse models and feedback on actions, which promote interaction between student and others (Lee & Hannafin, 2016)
6 step SDL process
climate setting, diagnosing learning needs, formulating learning goals, identifying human and material resources for learning, choosing and implementing appropriate learning strategies and evaluating learning outcomes (Merriam & Bierema, 2013)
Self-Directed Learning
learner takes control of his/her own learning (Merriam & Bierema, 2013)
Goals of Self-Directed Learning
gain knowledge/develop skill, become more self-directed in learning (Merriam & Bierema, 2013)
Attributes of Self-Directed Learners
Self-managing, self-monitoring and self-modifying (Merriam & Bierema, 2013)
Readiness in SDL
Readiness to engage in SDL varies among learners; not all learners have means to engage in SDL (Merriam & Bierema, 2013)
