Teaching Students to Become Self-Determined Learners– Michael Wehmeyer and Yong Zhao

Toolkit

Teaching Students to Become Self-Determined Learners explores the how and why of self-determined learning and provides practical advice to support educators in motivating their students to become self-determined learners.

When adults learn new things, it is usually because they wish to, or because the subject matter is important to them. That option is often not given to children. Throughout this book, Wehmeyer and Zhao explore the importance of autonomy and choice in learning, discussing how the concept of self-determined learning can reach a wider audience of learners.

Designed to assist educators in providing students with the independence to guide their own learning, this book provides strategies and techniques about how the approach can be implemented.
