There are a number of terms related to autonomy that can be distinguished from it in various ways. Most people now agree that autonomy and autonomous learning are not synonyms of 'self-instruction', 'self-access', 'self-study', 'self-education', 'out-of-class learning' or 'distance learning'. These terms basically describe various ways and degrees of learning by yourself, whereas autonomy refers to abilities and attitudes (or whatever we think the capacity to control your own learning consists of). The point is, then, that learning by yourself is not the same thing as having the capacity to learn by yourself.
To begin with, as Little (1991) has noted, autonomous learning does not exclude the teacher’s input, which I consider important for guiding students, especially those who have had little opportunity to make academic decisions previously. The …show more content…
However, this can only be achieved if the learners are willing to work. Interest and motivation are therefore two important factors in learning, and the Internet offers a wide variety of different topics suited to individual tastes and learning styles, as the information can be received through text, audio or video, images and graphics. Students can use any of the search engines to find topics which interest them and the teacher can design generic worksheets to work on special
