Student being coached while learning a new sport
Self-tutoring flips the educational experience for future teachers. While you are preparing to tutor and teach younger learners, you are experiencing being tutored as you pursue your self learning goals.
Self-chosen learning reveal the importance of active engagement and supportive coaching in any educational endeavor.
In TEAMS this semester, you submit at least 20 hours of self-chosen learning.
In past semesters, three main types of self-tutoring/self-chosen learning projects emerged:
1) self-learning with a personal coach or tutor;
2) self-learning with a group of peers; and
3) self-learning using digital technologies.
Self-tutoring with technology was the most often chosen approach.
