VELS Learning Domain: Personal Learning
The individual learner
The individual learner dimension focuses on students developing knowledge about their personal characteristics and capabilities, and those they need to develop to support their approaches to and reflections about learning. Students explore and practise skills and behaviours which support learning. They develop the capacity to monitor their own learning, identifying learning strengths and areas requiring improvement. They seek and use teacher feedback to develop their content knowledge and understanding. They explore the ways in which personal values affect learning and recognise the need to develop ethical frameworks for operating fairly within the classroom and recognising and respecting individual differences of class members. Students recognise their learning preferences and needs and respect that these may differ from those of others. They develop confidence in making informed decisions about their learning.
Managing personal learning
The Managing personal learning dimension focuses on the knowledge, skills and behaviours required to enable successful management of personal learning. Students develop skills in goal setting and time and resource management and focus on task achievement. They increasingly develop the skills to work independently, becoming autonomous learners. Students develop strategies to manage their emotions and develop positive attitudes towards learning.
