IV- Essay (10 Points)

1. Why do we need to encourage independent learning in the 21 st century education?

Answer: We need to encourage independent learning in the 21 st century education because there is a
limit to the skills, attitudes, and dispositions that students can learn through formal schooling.
Therefore, educating them for the 21st century requires teaching them how to learn on their own. To do
so, students need to be aware of how they learn. By urging their students to consciously examine their
thinking, teachers can help their students grow in their metacognitive capacity. It's crucial for students
to form optimistic mental models about how learning works, its boundaries, and signs of failure. The
"incremental" model of intelligence, which holds that intelligence and capacity rise with effort, and that
mistakes and failures are occasions for self-exploration and development rather than judgments of value
or aptitude, is beneficial to students.
