| dc.description | From the experience as a teacher, one can evidence the important differences among students, not only from their personality but also from their own learning process. In that sense, try to keep students motivated towards learning, has become for teachers a high challenge and even more, guide them to take an active part of the class. Autonomy seems to be nowadays, one of the most relevant issues for teachers to work in their classes since learners show a high dependence form teacher methodologies. This project intends to illustrate how effective the implementation of students' self reflection diaries in English classes could be in order to promote autonomous learning.
The procedure of this study was carried out in a foreign language institute inside a basic level course. The institute belongs to a public University in Pereira city and it provides students 16 levels of English which help them to reach the required level of English to graduate from any program from the University. Self reflection diaries were written by 10 students after every class during 10 minutes approximately, guided by questions made by the teacher, about perceptions and feelings towards the class, auto evaluation of their performance in some activities and the evolution of their learning process. After finishing the course, diaries were collected and students were interviewed in order to know their perceptions on the use of journals in the class. The information taken from the diaries evidences a development of self-awareness among students. They look like being more conscious of their abilities and weakness after being asked to report some experiences and reflexions about their learning process. At the same time, when students experience some grade of awareness of their learning process, this not only activates some sense of responsibility, but also, evidences some attitudes of autonomy. | |
