2.7.15 Supported self-study This term is typically used to express open, distance or flexible learning programs, where learners work with the aid of learning resource materials of one kind or another, and are supported in their learning by printed or computer-based briefing and assistance materials and/or by tutorial provision. In sixth-form school contexts, the role of the tutor in the process is given much more prominence.
There are a variety of ways for the teaching assistant to promote the independent learning: -Setting clear rules and instructions help the child build their confidence. Knowing what to do should encourage them to get on with their tasks or activities independently. -Encouraging group work helps students to develop social skills and communication, encourages them to speak up and present their ideas to their peers which builds their self- esteem and confidence and motivates them to independent learning. -Celebrating successes- Students respond well to praise and are usually motivated to do their best.
SCI411 Academic and personal development Portfolio: Part 1 From not being in education for a few years, being able to recognise my own academic skills, strengths and weaknesses was quite difficult. However, over these first couple of weeks in lectures my learning strengths and weaknesses have made themselves apparent. Whilst filling out the questionnaire Skills Self-Assessment Audit (Theeducators, 2013) it took a lot of understanding of the questions to be able to answer honestly, and my lowest scores reflected this in the personal effectiveness category. Skill strengths
Self-monitoring is when the student knows if they make sense while they are reading. Self-monitoring is when the student is self-questioning themselves as they are trying to figure out what they are having difficulty with. By watching Julia read, I realized that she doesn’t read the whole word and makes a quick assumption of what she thinks the word might be. By self-monitoring, this would give the student the opportunity to try to figure out the word or phrase that she doesn’t understand. In the article Self-Monitoring Strategies When Reading, Wilde states that when a child is reading they should ask themselves “Does this word look right, sound right, and make sense?”(Wilde,2011).
Who Am I? Throughout my course IDS 240 Foundations of Lifelong Learning, I have gained a variety of new insights that will forever change my values and compassion of who I am in this world. It was through various theories, including Strengths, spiritual gifts, and different personality inventories that provided me with great clarity in the search for my vocational calling. Although at times I felt a sense of confusion when learning the 3 Facets and reading the first two chapters of the Palmer Parker textbook, there is no doubt in my mind that I will be able to overcome these issues and successfully continue my journey. Self-awareness is a key component to answering such questions as to “who you are as a person?”
This is the term usually applied to open learning which takes place at a distance from the provider of the learning materials. Examples include the Open University in the UK, and correspondence courses throughout the world.
This means even taking account their various pressures anticipated as part of the planning process, this would assist the student to gain a true reflection of study circumstance. (Allan, 2009) • Having a dedicated space to study, ensure all supplies are available ahead of time. In (Talbot , 2010, Chapter 3), this is shown to be a successful strategy as it cuts back on time wasting as well as creates a learning environment, in a distance learning setting ( • Cutting back on non-essential social activities, so that there is enough family time as well, as time set aside and applied for studying. This point is emphasized by Moore, et all when it is stated “Gaining a sense of what time you have at your disposal is a starting point for gaining more control of your life” (Moore, et al., 2010)
Motivation 3.0 Academic future In the book “Drive” by Daniel Pink he argues “carrots and sticks” don 't work, they may have worked before but fail in todays 21st century, he advocates businesses and companies should transition into motivation 3.0 autonomy, mastery and purpose because “carrots and sticks” can achieve the opposite of what they’re actually intended for. Motivation 3.0 can be fostered by “type I behavior” that is driven by internal rewards and is self-directed to becoming better at something. I am of two minds about Pinks claim of transitioning to motivation 3.0 on the one hand I agree that it would be more beneficial for companies and businesses on the other hand I am not sure it would work in every type of job considering that most common jobs in a small town like the one I live in are routine jobs, but I do believe that in the academic career it could bring success.
U1 AC 2.1 - Explain ways to maintain a safe and supportive learning environment. A number of ways to establish a safe and supportive learning environment is to stay within what is deemed as conventional rules and disciplines. A typical class room layout is rows of desks and chairs facing the front, it is the usual expected layout for learners and encourages them to accept conformity, something as simple as sitting on the chairs facing the front of the classroom is reassuring to the majority that the class is safe. In days of yesteryear the students would be expected to stand up when the teacher entered the room and wait for permission to be seated, thankfully those days are in the distant past and now it is acceptable to remain talking until the teacher is ready to begin class.
In our challenging society career planning needs careful implementation of knowledge, skills, and education. Post-secondary education particularly in community colleges are designed to deliver the students theoretical aspects of the subjects in broad spectrum together with their basic applications in practical settings. The learning outcomes of post-secondary education play key role in career settings by broadening one’s knowledge about majors, applying skills in practical settings and developing the values and ethos in working places. Biotechnology and industrial microbiology in Centennial College facilitates the study of biology, chemistry and applied technologies in the field of food, chemical, pharmaceutical and genetic technology.

initiative for planning their own learning, seeking out the necessary resources, implementing and evaluating their own learning (tenant p10). The research by Tough prompted a multitude of research on the phenomenon. To date self-directed learning is one of the most widely researched area in the field of adult learning ( Owen , T Ross 2002). Categories of SDL Merriam, Caffarella & Baumgartner p107 have classified studies on self-directed learning into three broad categories. Each of these categories captures a major perspective of self-directed learning.
Study Title The effect that Facebook has on Self-esteem among 3rd year psychology students: upward and downward social comparison Brief review of literature “Self-esteem is related to numerous emotional states. It has been linked to anxiety and depression in the clinical literature (Mineka, Watson & Clark, 1998), to pride and shame in the developmental literature (Tangney & Fischer, 1995), to happiness and contentment in personality psychology, and to anger and hostility in social psychology (Bushman & Baumeister, 1998).” According to Coopersmith (1967) “Self-esteem refers to a person’s positive or negative evaluation of the self, the extent to which an individual views the self as worthwhile and competent.” It serves various social and existential
Self-Directed Learning as explained, is a deliberate (Hake, 1999) and self-planned (Tough, 1971) learning, in which the learner is the agent (Brockett &Hiemstra, 1991) and has absolute control (Carre, 2000) of the learning process. This therefore indicates that, learners steer the affairs of their learning process with no or little

Are contemporary education system is constantly behind in terms of innovative methods of teaching. One exceedingly outdated method of teaching, is to treat everyone in the classroom as if they have the equivalent skill level and learn in the identical way. This causes students to fall behind the rest of the class since they are incapable of understanding the information being taught. Therefore, I am going to discuss the solution to this problem, which is a further individualized education system in schools. My primary argument will be that If everyone remained to be treated and educated using the same procedures, viewpoints and learning techniques.
