What happens when teachers are removed from the equation, when we
learn by ourselves or with peers? Increasingly rapid change is part
of our world today and tomorrow. The need to learn and to adapt is
now lifelong and ubiquitous. But are educators and educational
institutions preparing today's students for this reality? Educators
and institutions choose pedagogic models, design curricula and
provide instruction. However, this does not mirror the learning
environments that we inhabit outside of formal education, nor does
it reflect all our learning time during formal education. This text
provides a data-driven picture of the independent learning
experience - what occurs in the minds of learners as they negotiate
learning tasks without (or with less) guidance and instruction.
Cognition, distraction, embodied experience, emotion, and
metacognition are central to this learning. Drawing on new
empirical data, this volume focuses on university-aged learners.
These are the learners who have been through our formal educational
systems. Do they learn well in independent settings? Have they been
prepared for this? Through an explication of this experience, this
volume makes a case for how we can better prepare them for the
demands of current and future learning.
