Book Description
To achieve their full potential, it is essential that children develop skills to become autonomous learners, yet this skill does not come naturally to many learners. This book is a practical teaching and planning guide to the theory, practice and the implementation of evidence-based approaches to develop essential metacognitive and self-study skills. How to Create Autonomous Learners explains how to get students, parents and partners on board and how to implement these ideas across a class, school, or consortium. Areas covered include: • How to get children and young people ready to learn. • Why it is important to teach learning strategies. • Encouraging children to become more active in the process of learning while also nurturing the development of creativity. • How to harness learner motivation as metacognition and motivation are highly linked. Easily applicable in any classroom, this essential resource supports children’s development of important metacognitive, self-regulatory and self-study skills, and provides teachers and school leaders with evidence-based approaches for implementing these ideas with the support of parents, students and partners.

Book Description
Traditionally, organizations and researchers have focused on learning that occurs through formal training and development programs. However, the realities of today’s workplace suggest that it is difficult, if not impossible, for organizations to rely mainly on formal programs for developing human capital. This volume offers a broad-based treatment of autonomous learning to advance our understanding of learner-driven approaches and how organizations can support them. Contributors in industrial/organizational psychology, management, education, and entrepreneurship bring theoretical perspectives to help us understand autonomous learning and its consequences for individuals and organizations. Chapters consider informal learning, self-directed learning, learning from job challenges, mentoring, Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), organizational communities of practice, self-regulation, the role of feedback and errors, and how to capture value from autonomous learning. This book will appeal to scholars, researchers, and practitioners in psychology, management, training and development, and educational psychology.

Book Description
Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Other, grade: 2.0, University of Duisburg-Essen (Anglophone Studies), course: Learner Autonomy in Practice, language: English, abstract: This paper aims at providing an analysis of learner autonomy in the classroom. It presents an examination of how a positive learning atmosphere in a language classroom can be achieved, i.e. the question “how to teach” (Brown 1994: 51) in a classroom has to be considered. First of all, some theoretical positions and beliefs in the context of learner autonomy will be depicted, especially the definition of the term ‘learner autonomy’ will be discussed. Regarding the theories, in particular task-based learning (TBL) and project-based learning (PBL), it will be examined how learner autonomy can be promoted. However, the emphasis in section 2.2 will be laid on the definition of both task types. Although there exist a variety of theories regarding learner autonomy, this paper will only focus on the two theories mentioned above. After having presented a definition of learner autonomy and focusing on learner autonomy in language learning, as well as the teacher’s role in the classroom, this paper will take a specific look at the question how a positive learning atmosphere can be achieved. Therefore, the emphasis of this paper will be laid on chapter 3, i.e. on the analysis of how a positive learning atmosphere can be created with regard to the theoretical context. Finally, it is important to establish a connection between the theoretical context and the practical application. Therefore, based on a project at the University of Essen called “Great Books to Read”, methods and strategies as well ...

Book Description
The Autonomous Learner Model is designed to meet the diversified cognitive social and emotional needs of gifted and talented students. Its major goal is to facilitate the total growth of the individual. Students develop and incorporate their own knowledge and skills, learn independently and apply this knowledge to the entire scope of their learning experience and their lives. This model gives students the opportunity to develop their own individual centres and to participate in their own activities. This development is the major goal and can be achieved by students of all ages.

Book Description
This book is a collection of papers that explores the notion of learner autonomy and the problem of helping language learners to manage their learning effectively. The first part of the book deals with issues of definition: what is the cognitive base for autonomous learning behaviour and how is this mediated by social and cultural expectations of a learner's role? The second part reports on experiences of working with learners and with teachers to promote learner autonomy. In working with learners, the focus is on language learning strategies and how strategic learning might be developed through strategy training, materials design, reflection and counselling. In working with teachers, the focus is on bringing about change in traditional perspectives on the roles of learners and teachers within education systems.
