How to Learn-Learner Training
Students are not learning not because they are
unintelligent, but they are just lack of the know-how to learn! They are known
as the digital natives who have lost the interest to find out how to learn
because they are too dependent on modern technology and convenience that they
fail to see the need to be independent!
We believe that learner training is an effective way to
encourage learners to be independent and see learning as a more meaningful
process instead of an unadventurous, undesirable torture.
Ms. Hannah has conducted the first stage of training in 4
sessions, focusing on introducing the concept of autonomous learning aiming to
lead learners to the path of self-reliance, helping them to decide the kind of
learning strategies that can help them to make learning a more pleasant and
fruitful experience.
We are happy to see some of the learners have started to
realize the importance of being autonomous and beginning to see learning can be
done in many ways. On the other hand, not all students were ready and willing
to learn how-to-learn as many still prefer to stay in their comfort zones.
After the learner training, we posted the following
questions to them-
1. Do you like the idea of being able to take
up part of the decision making on how to learn in class?
2. What could you remember from the training
sessions?
3. Have the sessions helped you in anyway?
We don’t believe in educational short-cuts; there is nothing
magical about learner training, however, if learners become the manager of
their own learning, it is going to last a life-time!
