The document discusses self-directed learning, which is defined as students taking initiative to diagnose learning needs, formulate goals, identify resources, select strategies, and evaluate outcomes. It provides guidelines for conducting self-directed learning, including establishing expectations, keeping students on track, using step-by-step materials, choosing ready materials, and giving enough time.

Self-directed Learning
EED 18 We frequently hear statements like these from multigrade teachers.
• Alexa completes the assigned work independently
and with great self-motivation.
• Pat is highly motivated to complete specified
assignments and takes ownership of his own learning activities.
• Noel takes pride in performing specific tasks with ease
and proficiency. • How can the teacher keep independent learners’ curiosity and enthusiasm alive in the classroom?
• What is the current strategy for meeting the needs of
independent learners? Self- directed Learning Self-directed learning is defined by Wallace et al (2001) as a process in which individuals, with or without the assistance of others, take the initiative in diagnosing their leaning needs, formulating learning goals, identifying human and material resources for learning, selecting and implementing appropriate learning strategies, and evaluating learning outcomes.
- In other words, self-directed learning occurs when students engage in
activities on their own. Self- directed Learning Educators think that students may be in charge of their own learning. Multigrade learners are encouraged to monitor their learning by expressing precisely what they have learned, how they have learned, and what they need to do in order to widen their learning (Taole. and Cornish, 2017). Self-directed learning necessitates learners who are entirely focused, self-confident, and goal-oriented, and who can accept responsibility for initiating and completing a task. Modules and others comparable tolls are used in the classroom. Self- directed Learning Self-directed learning in multigrade classrooms encourages students to take responsibility for their own learning. Self-directed learning imparts independent working skills. Self-directed learning also assists students in becoming self- regulated, strategic learners. Learners can determine their learning styles since they can see which method of learning works best for them. Learners are assisted in working independently or with minimal assistance from the teacher. Self-directed learning can present a variety of activities such as creative art and play, simple science and math projects, portfolios, writing a story, and song. Guidelines in Conducting Self-directed Learning:
1. The teacher establishes high expectations.
2. The teacher keeps students on track. 3. Activity sheets or modules are developed in a step-by- step method using simple language to ensure the learners' independent learning 4. The materials have been carefully chosen and are ready for use. 5. Enough time is given to the students to complete the activity.
