How can we encourage students to manage their own learning?

Abstract

The report investigates several methods of managing a student's educational activity. The educational discipline "Practicum of problem solving in informatics" has been chosen for students in their third year of study, future informatics teachers, in order to realize pedagogical conditions of computer-oriented management of students' educational activity. The major aim behind building the courseware was to move away from direct management and toward co-management, subsidiary management, and self-management. The information and communication educational environment is built on the Moodle learning management system platform. Moodle's Workshop components were critical in managing students' instructional engagement. Our educational observation and assessment results demonstrated the efficacy of the proposed technique. On the basis of the experimental results, it was also demonstrated that pupils lacked competency in time management and reflection.
