Why Learning at Home Should Be More
Self-Directed—and Less Structured
|
|
Giving students some choice over their learning builds
intrinsic motivation
,
independence, and creativity. They can investigate real-world problems that interest them, research solutions, or build models or write reports that empower them. While it can be difficult in a traditional classroom of 20–30 students, at home parents can allow their children much more flexibility to choose topics to study, books to read, and ways to use their time.
