1.1 EVALUATE 2 APPROACHES TO SELF-MANAGED LEARNING. Self-managed learning means individuals can manage their own learning. It allows them to lead and manage themselves through learning, it will able them to continue their capabilities without being dependent on another person to teach and manage their learning. It is a development where individuals can learn new skills, knowledge and attitudes. (UK Essays, 2016) Self-managed learning is different for each person, there are various approaches to this way of learning such as learning through research, attending seminars and conferences, and using of the internet.
Attending seminars allows an individual to share and discuss ideas, knowledge, and information on a chosen topic. Seminars usually

People attend seminars because they gain knowledge, experience and they get to learn from each other. They also get to interact and know different perspectives of other people in that field. Seminars are a good way to do self-managed learning as it would be able to learn from a wide variety of people. (eVenues, n.d.)
Using of the internet allow individuals to globally access information. The internet is a very important tool to those who want to obtain self-managed learning. A lot of knowledge could be gained through the internet since it is rich in all kinds of material which give useful information.
Best example of using the internet is Google scholar. People use Google scholar for accessing academic journals and articles which are written by experts on a diverse range of subjects. The internet allows individuals to access information written by different authors. Through self-managed learning, an individual can obtain experience on a variety of different topics that can inform the way we think about the world. (T. Saba, 2012)

The Internet gives us a seemingly endless supply of resources; we can search for information, communicate with others, or use it for our own personal work or pleasure. The Internet connects us to the rest of the evolving world, in all different countries around the world. With the ability to seek information on the Internet, we can gain knowledge about an endless supply of topics. For example, if someone wanted to learn how to plant a tree they can simply navigate to Google and type in “how to plant a tree.” Furthermore, thousands of pages will appear with step by step instructions demonstrating the process of planting a tree. This knowledge has made our society smarter because we can figure things out on our own, but at the same time save money; we do not have to pay someone else to tell us how to plant a tree. It can really benefit students in school because it allows u...
Education plays a key role in the development of one’s character and future achievements. The importance of education has elevated in numerous ways over time. The higher an education a person receives is expected to give an individual a better occupation and therefore result in more earned money by that individual. Human desires have led to the great want to achieve the best education in order to ensure that more then just the basic needs and wants are met by that individual, whether it is for themselves or for those that are dependent upon them. Hence the best education one can receive will contribute to the fulfillment of their desires and wants. In recent years the internet has played quite a major part in education. The internet has become almost more significant in the classroom then a piece of paper and a pencil, to a class. It has become more then just a resourceful tool for finding information it has become a means of a must have item. Such dependence is very detrimental to the educational process for although the internet seems to be everywhere, there are still many people, willing to learn, who lack such a resource.
Learning involves the acquisition of abstract concepts that can be applied in a range of situations (David Klob). During my early school life, I was shy and quiet. Throughout my secondary life, group discussion and cluster activities appealed to me because I perceived that I could share and express my ideas freely. The group discussion provides me with innovative ideas and I had the opportunity to learn from different backgrounds. These students brought out a unique source of learning for me. Ethically this helps me to enjoy the presence of others and I was at ease with them. With my friends I found out that we can tackle any issues we came across. In class, our teacher used to give us a topic and split us into groups for discussion that is why I am good at listening and learning from other
“In its broadest meaning, ’self-directed learning’ describes a process by which individuals take the initiative, with our without the assistance of others, in diagnosing their learning needs, formulating learning goals, identify human and material resources for learning, choosing and implement appropriate learning strategies, and evaluating learning outcomes.” (Knowles, Holton, Swanson, 2011, p. 18)
The Internet helps us to find the current news and information just in a few seconds. Because of the Internet, the educational institution created a new method to learn: via the web. Online education is a little bit different from the traditional education because students and teachers do not meet face-to-face which makes the teachers’ teaching method is mostly by using video. Although online learning is different, students still gain knowledge from it. With the knowledge they learned, they are up-to-date to the current information around the world (Tucker, 2014). The knowledge they have can also help students to finish their formal education and earn a degree after completing their online
Self-concept of the learner- Adult learners are naturally self- directed which means they will take ownership of what and how to learn and how to manage their time and learning.
It is a way for them to effectively communicate their thoughts they are in effect making the action plan with their ideas, opinions and advice. This has tremendous therapeutic value. It is a way for them to prepare for the meeting. It can help them to create order and relieve any worry that they may have about the conference thus empowering them. I believe that to discuss and write down these questions before the meeting is therapeutic in that they are putting it out there with the understanding that there may be solutions or support.
One of the most widely used technologies is the Internet, or also known as the World Wide Web. “In August 1981 about 200 computers hosted Web servers. By July 1998 there were over 36 million Web servers, that are hosts to approximately 150 million people” (Strauss). The Internet proves to be very beneficial to education, since students have unlimited access to millions of websites with tons of information. There are only so many newspapers, journals and magazines that you can find in libraries or subscribe to. Therefore, the Internet offers an unlimited pile of information that students can always have. Moreover, students are enriched with the most current information in any subject, along with regular updates. Students are able to use the Internet anytime of day, as long as they have a computer at hand. The research process will not have to end when the school day is over (Wissick, 82).
In total the Internet has not only increased the amount of learning possibilities in the classroom but it has created infinite amounts of learning opportunities for students and teachers.
The Internet is one of the greatest inventions of humanity. It is a massive network of computers, each with the ability to access any of the others. Ungodly amounts of information can be found on the Internet. It is the ultimate form of media, a combination of newspaper, radio, and as the average bandwidth is increasing, television. Using
It was made clear in our first seminar that there would be group presentations in the subsequent seminars and everybody would be given the chance to speak. This was to ensure that at the end of year, we would not be having any stuttering problems or major tension in facing the class during our presentation week. I realized along the way, that this not only helped me improve my presentation skills but it helped me get closer to the subject marketing. What I feared was so temporary; before long I enjoyed my marketing class more. I looked forward to those group activities, in which we were given time to converse, to find out about each other and also to know what exactly we were learning. It was through these activities I understood the subject more intensely.
The volume of the information that you will find on the internet is outstanding. For every topic that pops in your mind, then you will sure be able to find it on the internet, because there is always someone that has written about it. The internet can offer you a series of different perspectives on a single topic. As a matter of fact, you can even connect to an online encyclopedia. A lot of them offer you a subscription service that helps you search through the full text of the encyclopedia.
The Internet has made access to information easier. Information is stored efficiently and organized on the Internet. For example, instead of going to our local library, we can use Internet search engines. Simply by doing a search, we get thousands of results. The search engines use a ranking system to help us retrieve the most pertinent results in top order. Just a simple click and we have our information. Therefore, we can learn about anything, immediately. In a matter of moments, we can become an expert.
This gathering gives the opportunity to network with other colleagues. The employee is introduced to other colleagues and acclimatise him/her with the organisation in order to be a productive employee.
A useful thing about internet is the electronic mail, as it gives us faster results than its regular and normal air mail. Internet gives information in any aspects of knowledge which is useful for student and for the business. Internet changes our life (and where sure to that). It gives us a lot of knowledge, advantages and disadvantage of course and we should be aware to that by using it and knowing what are those disadvantages. Though it gives a lot of advantages to us we should always look on the other side of it, for the reason of the social development growth especially to children. (Sonia79, 2005)
