Technology Skills Survey Reflection and Learning Goals
1. After your semester, or class, retake the Tech Skill you previously took and saved
2. Compare your results to see your progress, and set some new learning goals.
What are personal learning goals and why are they important?
"Personal learning goals are about improving students’ learning and achievement and building students’ capacity to learn.
They are about students becoming active participants in the learning process, empowering them to become independent learners, and motivating them to achieve their full potential."
Research:
1. Students who set their own working goals tend to improve their performance.
2. Students who set their own learning goals have more confidence to take on more challenging tasks, and are motivated to improve and master a task.
3. Students who set their own learning goals have increased pride, self-confidence, and satisfaction with their performance.
3. When students are assisted to reflect on their own thinking and learning processes, they evaluate and learn from the strategies they used to achieve the learning goals they set.
4. Planning what to do, monitoring progress towards achieving it and evaluating the outcome can help students take more control over their thinking and learning processes and equip them with learning to learn skills. (Resource)
