The Importance of Autonomous Learning, Reflection and Self-Regulation in Teaching Work

Abstract

The characteristics that a teacher must have to be successful in the training of their students are varied, but what concerns us on this occasion is to describe why it is important that they have autonomy in their training and teaching service, although we know that the quality of the Education today demands a lot from us, we must be concerned about what we must develop in our students, and to guide the development of specific characteristics in students, we must first possess them ourselves, the development of skills in students will help to meet the profile of graduation that marks the 2011 study plan, the one that the student is able to develop in any environment to which he is exposed, the autonomy and his development will make him a lover of learning by its essence and will implement the taste for learning on his own and not for a rating. Autonomous learning goes hand in hand with self-regulated learning and reflective practice, because one of the fields of self-regulation involves autonomy as a capacity of the human being, which will help him to be a teacher who controls and organizes his activities within and outside of school, that is able to observe and analyze itself, and from that can see aspects that do not favor it and be able to change and transform it. We will know the 10 reasons that Philippe Perrenoud proposes to us, which will help teachers to reflect on their teaching work, which in the same way strengthens one of the characteristics of the graduation profile.
