autonomous learning workshop

We started off with seventy different themes posted on a display board. They were what we considered to be our first thoughts about necessary prerequisite skills for effective autonomous learning. Our goal over the coming weeks is to group them effectively, decide when they should be taught (and later reinforced) and by whom in which area of the curriculum. After brainstorming the categories were as follows:Personal Management, Work Organization, Learning Techniques, Presentation Skills, Learning Types, The Role of Reflection in the Learning Process and Balanced, Healthy Learning.

We assigned these as preparation tasks to individuals (or pairs) to present. Our overall aim is to assure the quality of the learning skills which the pupils are taught, embed them transparently in the curriculum and use the whole as a refreshment learning workshop for our staff.
