    The document discusses independent learning skills that teachers can observe and address in students. Independent learning is defined as learning where the learner makes decisions to meet their own needs within social norms using self-direction, motivation, and understanding of resources and abilities. Teachers can show development of independent skills through self-regulation like goal setting; cooperation by allowing group work; organization of materials; intellectual risk-taking by allowing trying and failing; metacognition like explaining strategies; independence by giving individual work space; and fostering global citizenship by relating topics to the world.

    Independent Learning Skills - Observation List

    Kesten (1987): “Independent Learning [is] defined as that learning in which the learner, in
    conjunction with relevant others, can make the decisions necessary to meet the learners’ own
    learning needs. These decisions ought to be made within the bounds of social acceptability and
    by self-directed, self-motivated, willing learners...Independent learners accept responsibilities
    and standards as well as understand the limitations imposed by available resources, prior
    knowledge, level of development as well as their personal skills, disposition and abilities.”
