22. Can students learn on their own?

Well…, if what Malcolm Knowles propounded in Self-Directed Learning : A Guide for Learners and Teachers (1975) is true, it should be possible!

The process of self-directed learning I am told, should include diagnosing one’s own learning needs, setting of personal goals and making decisions on resources and learning strategies and finally assessing the value of the outcome.

This would mean that the learner should select, manage and assess ones own learning activity! Now…, how many learners in our government run schools in God’s Own Country, Kerala are capable of it?

Won’t you dear reader give me an answer?
