In today's generation, students
must have developed the necessary skills to be more capable in different
activities. One of which is being self-directed. Self-directedness is the
ability to initiate something in order to achieve personal set of goals and
values. This skill should be developed in all types of learners for them to be
competent and most importantly, they learn at their best if they are the ones
who take control of the flow of their experience.
Teachers take part of this
evolution of their students. They hold a big responsibility to the betterment
and welfare of their lives. Without the presence of teachers, students will not
grow and mold their own talents. Thus, as a future teacher, I will help my
students to become self-directed learners through engaging them in multiple
activities. Such activities that will make use of their cognitive, affective
and psychomotor skills. These are Online Treasure Hunt, WebQuest, Scavenging,
Learning Logs, Personal Learning Network, and Learning Projects. Through these
materials, I can assure myself that they learn something on their own doing.
Not just teachers have the
ability to be self-directed, but also their learners as well. Teachers and
students help each other to gain knowledge and promote active learning.
Educators, therefore, perform an essential role to shape the holistic
development of their learners.
