Student Responses to the Quick Write: April
In April, I asked my students to complete a Quick Write that answered several questions that directly asked about their thoughts on autonomy.
The responses that I received were illuminating and helped clarify their thoughts on my inquiry project. It also showed me what activities my students enjoyed and did not enjoy throughout the semester. A deeper discussion can be found in the section on the Quick Write.
- How do you define student autonomy?
- Describe an experience where you felt autonomous in this class.
- Describe a time where you didn’t feel autonomous in this class.
- Do you think it is important for students to have autonomy? Do you think students learn better when they are autonomous? Why?
