Qn 2) I think Arousing Interest is what we always do as teachers.  What I found interesting was how to do it, especially the use of Discrepant Events.  More on https://opal.moe.edu.sg/stp/pedagogical-practices/lesson-enactment/arousing-interest

Qn 3) The part where they record their thoughts (2.50 to 3.05) helps us to check for student understanding.  I think when we plan for SDL with the use of ICT, we must plan purposefully on how to  put in place the AfL strategies to support student learning.]]> 2017-09-26 04:44:40 UTC https://padlet.com/Rani_Kannan/b9u1u277ir0g/wish/191093718 https://padlet.com/Rani_Kannan/b9u1u277ir0g/wish/191095268 SDL is where learners are given the responsibility and ownership to make meaning of their studies and materials.

If activities or materials are not designed well to engage and steer learners towards the intended end goals, we might well lose the opportunities when giving the learners the chance to be motivated to understand and learn on their own. Also I think giving them the chance to learn to be confident in their own decision is important in SDL too. ]]> 2017-09-26 05:04:55 UTC https://padlet.com/Rani_Kannan/b9u1u277ir0g/wish/191095268 https://padlet.com/Rani_Kannan/b9u1u277ir0g/wish/191095305 SDL is when students engage in an interactive activity that allows them to do exploration and creating of new knowledge.
Arousing interest and students ' engagement are closely linked as students need to be interested about something in order to be engaged and be motivated to learn more.

They require minimum supervision and are able to accomplish the desired outcomes.]]> 2017-09-26 05:05:51 UTC https://padlet.com/Rani_Kannan/b9u1u277ir0g/wish/191095359 https://padlet.com/Rani_Kannan/b9u1u277ir0g/wish/191095377 1)SDL is when students are motivated to  find out more with regards to topics they had learned or yet to learn. ^.^v
2)  Arousing Interest' & 'Student Engagement will bring out creativity within a student. Students will find ways and methods to sustain information they found. ]]> 2017-09-26 05:06:03 UTC https://padlet.com/Rani_Kannan/b9u1u277ir0g/wish/191095377 https://padlet.com/Rani_Kannan/b9u1u277ir0g/wish/191095428 What is SLD?
SDL is when learners are given the tools to explore and deepen their knowledge on their own.

How do you think 'Arousing Interest' & 'Student Engagement' link to SDL? 
Without a personal interest or connection, learners are not motivated to engage in deepening their knowledge on the content, hence there is a direct co-relation between student engagement and interest. ]]> 2017-09-26 05:06:48 UTC https://padlet.com/Rani_Kannan/b9u1u277ir0g/wish/191095428 https://padlet.com/Rani_Kannan/b9u1u277ir0g/wish/191095570 In order for students to be doing SDL and being passionate about it, they should be interested and finding relevance in what they are doing.  Having them interested and engaged is pre requisite for the success of SDL, coupled with the required skills. ]]> 2017-09-26 05:08:15 UTC https://padlet.com/Rani_Kannan/b9u1u277ir0g/wish/191095570 https://padlet.com/Rani_Kannan/b9u1u277ir0g/wish/191095577 SDL is Self-Directed Learning. It also encompasses Joy of Learning whereby students take ownership of their learning and will WANT to learn more. 

When there is Interest ,there will be a willingness to learn. 

When they are engaged, they will also display SDL

How to achieve SDL in going through papers?

To achieve SDL, we fundamentally need to address and level up teachers' competency.]]> 2017-09-26 05:09:26 UTC https://padlet.com/Rani_Kannan/b9u1u277ir0g/wish/191095681
