Correct Answer - Option 3 : Self-learning methodology
We may call self-learning 'self-managed learning or "self-directed" learning also. It is, therefore, usually argued that self-learning requires learners to be highly committed, self-initiative and self-disciplined. They are not only highly motivated but also able to sustain their motivation throughout their study.
- Self-learning is characterised by certain learner-centred features of learning. It facilitates the learners to learn:
- When they want (according to their own time, frequency and duration convenient to them)
- How they want (according to modes of learning suitable to them
- What they want (learning objectives and content)
- The learner who is accustomed to learning together with other learners under the direct supervision of the teacher might initially feel it difficult to acquire knowledge, skills and attitudes through self-learning.
- In order to achieve it (self-learning skill), he has to train himself in the process of learning without or with little external support.
- He has to become autonomous in planning and controlling his learning activities and fix the time, duration and places of his learning.
- For the most part of his learning, the learning becomes individualised and autonomous. Thus, self-learning is principally initiated and managed by the learner himself/herself.
Thus from above-mentioned points, it is clear that Self-Discipline, Internal motivation, clear goal is required in Self-learning methodology.
