Empowering Learners: Exploring Teaching Strategies, AI Integration, and Motivation Tools for Fostering Autonomous Learning in Higher Education

الملخص

Being an independent learner is essential in higher education, particularly in light of the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) tools and learning-facilitating digital platforms. However, it appears that curriculum designs and teaching methods fall well short of encouraging students to learn on their own by applying their critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. The relationship between autonomous learning and academic achievement, teaching methods that encourage autonomy, and the impact of AI tools and digital platforms on inspiring students to be self-directed learners will all be covered in this research paper. This research paper aims to utilise two surveys that have a mixed-methods approach to analyse students' and educators' perspectives towards the role of education in motivating learners to be autonomous learners.
