Processes Employed to Introduce Autonomous Learning

Abstract

This article presents the results of an analysis made to some process models that have been used to introduce autonomous learning in EFL contexts. The purpose of this analysis was to explore the processes these models followed to reach such a goal. This was done because the authors of this paper considered that knowing the steps that were taken to foster autonomous learning may help to create or adapt a process model to implement this approach to learning in other contexts.

The 7-Day Challenge: Taking Steps Towards a Learning Habit

“…Further, various models and approaches have been developed for the implementation of a program of self-directed learning. (See Isabeles Flores et al, 2022 for a description of various models.) In addition, Little (1995) notes the importance of in-class interaction between learners and the teacher as essential components in developing autonomy.…”
