There are novel and valid views of what makes for students' success in school and later in life. One of these views is that a student should believe in himself/herself and the student should have "grit", or perserverance.
Beyond these characteristics, I expect that a student who looks for ways other than the ways his/her teacher or book present a topic will succeed in diverse applications.
The ways the student choses or invents should relate to prior knowledge or methods that the student has already mastered or feels comfortable with.
Hello,
learners' persistent perseverance for attaining the specified outcomes in an educational context is a matter of great concern. However, many students rely on the course materials and/or teachers for managing their own learning mainly because many of them lack the so-called promptitude of action. Therefore, as you have rightly pointed out, self learning has a great bearing on the learning outcomes. The inventive,. innovative learners are an asset to the teacher because they have something to say and their involvement enriches the teaching/learning situation.
Best regards,
