ABSTRACT
This forum offers an opportunity for teachers to discuss practical issues of learner autonomy they encounter in the classroom. We'll be using an online tool to allow participants’ anonymous input. Psychological science has long provided data supporting the idea that autonomy boosts intrinsic motivation. Such an idea is now being explored by neuroscience with positive outcomes (see Murayama et al., 2016 among others). However, Reeves (2009) pointed out that despite its research-supported benefit, teachers are frequently controlling rather than encouraging autonomy. Why is this? How can teachers facilitate learner autonomy in our classrooms? Come and share your ideas and experiences. Let’s learn from each other and further explore the new ideas in our classrooms!
