Here are some tips that I found important for teachers to follow in order to build up learners' autonomy:
Offer encouraging, focused feedback as well as general praise to encourage students to work with purpose.
Recognize and praise effort. Help your students develop self-efficacy by helping them see the connection between effort and achievement.
Make success possible. Begin each assignment with the easier material, question, etc. Creating confident learners will encourage them to keep trying.
Offer students a variety of ways to self-monitor their work. The
easiest way is to offer them checklists to keep track of completed
tasks.
It’s almost magic. If you think highly of your students, they will tend to behave better for you than for the teachers who obviously do not enjoy being with them.
Give clear written and verbal direction so that your students can
find it easy to stay on task. Students who know how to do their work
well will be less apt to be off class than those who do not know what
they need to accomplish in class. Examples of bad work are also helpful because they can
show student what not to do.
Arouse student curiosity about a lesson and you will find that inherent motivation will prevent many discipline problems.
Spend two minutes at the start of a lesson: ask questions, show
photos, play clips, give quick teamed activities…anything that will
encourage students to want to learn more.
Spend time setting goals with your students. Looking forward in this way gives your students practical reasons for wanting to do their work.
