Do Self-Directed Learners Use Mentors, Guides & Coaches? | #Autodidact #Coaching #Mentoring #LEARNing2LEARN 

Do Self-Directed Learners Use Mentors, Guides & Coaches? | #Autodidact #Coaching #Mentoring #LEARNing2LEARN  | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
For those not familiar with self-directed learning, they sometimes have a stereotype about what it means to be a self-directed learner. One of them includes this vision of the solitary and independent learner who does things her way. She only depends upon herself, not relying upon teachers or others. Yet, in my study of self-directed learning, that tends to be far from true. In fact, many self-directed learners actively seek out different guides and mentors in their pursuit of new learning goals. They own the learning, but they seek out mentors and guides to accomplish their learning goals.

Self-directed learning is not solitary learning. It is not anti-teacher, anarchist, nor is it selfish. At least that is not the vision for most advocates and champions of self-directed learning. What makes it distinct is that the learner, not a teacher or other authority, takes increasing ownership for the what, why and how of learning. It stems from a conviction that teaching self-sufficiency and self-regulation is effectively done by providing contexts where one is able to practice self-regulating and being increasingly self-sufficient.

When Learning is Free: Peer Organized Learning Communities | LEARNing To LEARN

When Learning is Free: Peer Organized Learning Communities | LEARNing To LEARN | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Peer organized learning communities remind us about an important truth, that learning communities are plentiful and accessible to all. Learning is not a commodity owned and controlled by a select few in power. It is all around us and, with a little time and effort, any small group of interested people can create a wonderful and rewarding learning community.

Peer to Peer U – A New Model of Learning

Peer to Peer U – A New Model of Learning | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Knowledge used to be the sole domain of the individual, highly educated expert. A professor with a PH.D. or a carefully researched and written book were the best sources to find out about something. This is a model of learning that has held sway since the earliest human societies formed and people with particular fields of expertise taught other members of their groups. The Internet and social media have dramatically changed what it means to know something, and initiatives like Wikipedia are reshaping where we turn for "expert" information. Social collaboration and meaning making are allowing for knowledge to be the domain of a collective group rather than any individual. A recent study even revealed that Wikipedia is now as accurate as the Encyclopedia Britanica.

 

The P2PU Model


P2PU works on the premise that everyone has something to offer, the idea that passion for a subjects can substitute for expertise, and that social interaction is the key to motivation and learning. The motto of the institution is, "learning for everyone, by everyone, about almost anything." While this crowd-based model of expertise cannot substitute for the highly educated scholar’s years of research and careful consideration of a single topic, it does provide a potentially good source of entry-level knowledge to many subjects.
