yes

I think that it depends on the type of students that you have. Sometimes students are highly motivated and it might make sense, but if students are not like that maybe a more traditional approach is needed.

Laura Bulgariu - Thank you for your question. Responsible learning is part of accountability and also self-regulatory learning; these elements are fundamental of adult learning and student-centred learning. I think these elements must be taking place in high school and at a more deeper level at the higher education level.

اعتقد نعم

Yes

Effectiveness of Implementing 'Responsible Learning' depends on various contexts such as level of education, types of institutions, age group of learners, background of learners etc. But this type of learning seems more useful for higher level students those who are self driven and possess a sense of accountability preferably in HEI's.

Responsible learning can be at all ages. The higher the qualification the more responsible learning should be added in hours as there needs to be more research as part of responsible learning. the student must be guided as to what percentage of total learning he should be dedicating. The workload must be determined for the student as otherwise overloading is not ideal. A guidance to recommended readings, websites, videos etc are good practice to lead students for responsible learning

Dear Prof. Bulgariu I refer to two articles:

1) Erik Gilbert (2018). "Who Is Responsible for Student Learning?" Times Higher Education October 2, 2018. Available at: https://www.insidehighered.com/advice/2018/10/02/why-students-should-take-more-lead-their-own-learning-opinion

Citation: "No matter how charismatic and engaging we are, how much technology we leverage, how many classes we flip or how many pallets of rubrics we deploy, in the end, it’s still the students who have to do the learning. We may be able to make it easier to learn, cheaper to learn or more fun to learn, but students will still have to do the work."

2) An conference paper at the European University Association enclosed, states (2019).: "In relation to educational practice, the risk of confusing critical thinking and righteous thinking, as well as the risk of confusing critical thinking and the experience of new ways of thinking, are pointed out. "

May I hereby argue that since educational practices change over time and novel digital tools&methods are applied, the role of responsible teaching must be increased not only in universities but also in primary schools. Yours sincerely, Bulcsu Szekely

I think responsible learning is in itself an important component of education. Students should consider it as a value and a culture we should respect. It is a study skill which fosters learners to seek answers to their questions; a skill to respond to the unexpected and survive life-threatening situations. This skill should be taught to all ages (primary, middle, secondary, and higher education).

It'll be more appropriate to identify the aspects of Responsible Learning in order to reach the desired benefits. Perhaps this will open up more factors that will have a bearing on where to pitch concept. This is an important life science.

Thank you very much Ajith de Silva

Interesting topics and replies.

I have come across some recources which approach 'responsible learning' as close to 'autonomous learning'. Certainly this is important, not only for university students but also for younger ones. as well.

McCombs, B. L. (2001). Self-regulated learning and academic achievement: A phenomenological view. In B. J. Zimmerman & D. H. Schunk (Eds.), Self-Regulated learning and academic achievement: Theory, Research, and Practice (2nd. Ed.) (pp. 67-123). Mahwah, NJ: Lawrence Erlbam Associates.

McCombs, B. L. (2007). Strategies for generating positive affect in high school students. In R. J. Seidel & A. L. Kett (Eds.), Workbook Companion for: Principles of learning to strategies for instruction: A needs-based focus on high school adolescents (pp. 323-337).  Norwell, MA: Springer.

Yes, I agree. I highly appreciate responsible learning when one should be responible in tracking his/her current and future goels with no withdraw or give up at the middle or end of the study under any kind of obstacles. At the end, I think such skill should be applied and motivated in university students’ believes to obtain more promising results at their future careers.

I do believe in responsible learning. Each individual must take responsibility for their learning process and work towards the best result of achieving their academic goals. This may require planning, working with their planned schedules, and doing the necessary research to accomplish the task at hand.

Responsible learning should be taught and encouraged at all levels beginning at primary education levels.

Does the concept of "eidetic student" offer some keywords to finding your answer?

Here is a link to a paper/book that comes up on a search with:

"eidetic student" AND education. Eidetic in this concept is very different from "eidetic memory".

http://www.deaddropthis.com/survival/AT%20Library/AT%20Library%20disk%2031/31-752.pdf

I first encountered this concept while researching Learning Disabilities and related topics.

Hope this helps....

I really agree with it. One should be responsible for his or her goals.

Dear Prof. Laura Bulgariu,

Yes, I agree with you. Students learn best when they have a sense of responsibility and ownership for their own learning. Responsibility means a moral obligation and something taken upon one’s self. University Professors and students need to be accountable for their learning so they take responsibility for their own learning.

I hope the information will help you.

With Best Wishes,

In our normal schooling setting, pupils are removed from their responsibility for learning. The teacher tells them what should be learned and most often even how it should be learned and when. This happens from an early age (6 years) till they (can) become students (roughly 17/18 years). Higher Education still tells students what to learn and when. And complains about lack of responsibility with the students.

Special schooling systems like Montessori, Iederwijs and Democratic display pupil centered education (in above variants: make them responsible for setting learning goals and even choosing the goals democratic). When those pupils arrive in the normal setting - even higher education - they have a hard time adjusting.

It is not the students that need to change, it is the system. If we want students to be responsible for their own learning, we should educate them towards that.

Several attempts try to remedy this, like Agora education ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnwcU4_bbcg in dutch) or Open ICT ( https://www.hu.nl/voltijd-opleidingen/hbo-ict/tijdens-de-opleiding in dutch). Let's hope they succeed.

Responsible learning means that learners take responsibility of their own learning. It is important for the following reasons:

(a) It helps learners to develop into autonomous and responsible learners.

(b) Learners become responsible for their own learning not only at school (or while at school) but also outside school and later on in life.

(c) Learners are trained to make good choices both in and outside school. Because they develop confidence competence, they are better able to deal with issues such as peer pressure and bullying while at school. It also helps the learners to understand that other people are not responsible for the choices they make concerning personal circumstances.

(d) It establishes positive learner relationships (cooperative/collaborative learning). Each learner's voice becomes important in creating conducive and productive learning situations.

(e) Learners are not turned into containers into which educators must put knowledge, but allows critical thinking among learners.

Responsible learning is not for universities alone but should start early in school life. By the time learners reach university, they should have already become ardent responsible learners.

Thank you Bernard Chileshe

It is true that 'teachers' can't control learning'. It is the students who can do that. It creates a sense that students should take the responsibility of their own learning.

Thank you Harasit Kumar Paul

Thanks for a top question. We cannot isolate responsibility from socio economic and or cultural factors - as one above said, being responsible should be nurtured etc etc. In an era of 'responsibilization', apparently a sociological term used to show the toxic neoliberal values of autonomy, self reliance and -deep down- the virtue of selfishness, we must not forget why we employ it and how. The honus is on the edu system and its in terpreters, to create a democratic platform that does not oppresses the minority who may not know how or why to be and feel responsible. So the answer must be a NO, responsibility in one's own development as a learner has to be done in blocks, at home, in schools and the community...as early as possible and as playfully as possible, without alienating the individual (a man is not an island someone said).

...sorry I'm new to all this academia thing, and I'm now puzzled by simple 'yes' answers first of all, with no elaboration, what does it actually mean at this level?. As for the yes answer per se, it makes me feel (because of the lack of explanation) that perhaps the question should change and invite more rigourous or deep responses. Learning might -or might not- be intrinsically responsible, we don't know, it varies, but to imply that as a concept it should apply more to Uni students seems in itself a bit reductionist or simplistic... perhaps a better question would be: Do you agree with the concept of "responsible learning" as the most effective way to enhance learning or aspiration or motivation? Do you think it should be applied more to university studies because students are soon to make the step into careers/job and therefore need to step up?

Indeed, that is why several of us did elaborate.

Yes indeed.
