METHODS AND TECHNIQUES FOR SELF-REGULATED LEARNING IN THE CONTEXT OF THE LIFELONG LEARNING CONCEPT

Abstract

Abstract

The time in which we live today, with all the changes it brings with it in the various areas of life and work, conditions the need for constant learning and education. At the same time, it means that the modern system of education must be built on the basis of a new type of learning - learning to learn or selflearning. In fact, it arises in response to the social and political question: Do our youth possess sufficient knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for a productive life in a post-industrial society? Self-learning per se is the answer to this question, because it gives great autonomy to individuals and the introduction of power into their lives - personal, educational and social. In such conditions, the still present state of "encyclopedic knowledge" is re-examined, vis á vis the affirmed need for students at all levels of education to get acquainted with the methods and techniques for independent learning, i.e. to be trained for self-learning. (Rizova, 2021)

The main purpose of this paper is to point out the deficiency of educational programs that include elements of self-learning, the lack of manuals for teachers that would help prepare students for this type of learning, as well as the insufficient readiness of teachers to apply Innovative teaching methods and techniques in teaching - are an everyday obstacle that is still present in the education system in most countries, including ours. The paper also aims to present some of the methods and techniques for successful self-learning that will greatly contribute to the training of new generations of lifelong learners.
