Learner Autonomy

I personally really liked chapter 6 which was about promoting learner autonomy.  In my curriculum and instruction classes I have learned a decent amount about learner autonomy and how promoting it is essential.  I felt this chapter really just emphasized the importance of learner autonomy and how it is not just on the student.  Teachers are also responsible for a learner's autonomy, which is not what most people think.  They assume it usually is just on the learner, but the teacher does play a role in it.  I feel that is something that needs to be noted because it obviously influences the success of learner autonomy.  I also liked how this chapter gave a break down between a narrow view and broad view of learner autonomy.  What I got from that was just that a narrow view focuses on how one learns and the broad view focuses on how one can take their learning to another level.  Obviously both of these views are important to keep in mind when dealing with learner autonomy because they both come into play.  I think one of the most important thinks to remember about learner autonomy is that it is up to the student mainly along with the help of the teacher.  A teacher can only help so much with learner autonomy, but a student needs to want to be autonomous.
