Autonomous learning is a school of education which sees learners as individuals who can and should be autonomous i.e. be responsible for their own learning climate.
Autonomous education helps students develop their self-consciousness, vision, practicality and freedom of discussion. These attributes serve to aid the student in his/her independent learning.
Autonomous learning is very popular with those that home educate their children. The child usually gets to decide what projects they wish to tackle or what interests to pursue. example: a child that loves music will choose to learn or play a musical instrument. In home education this can be instead of or in addition to regular subjects like doing math or English. At University/College Students are expected to learn independently without constant support from lectures and tutors this is known as autonomous learning.
