Positive Aspects of Individual Learning

• Good for introverts and shy learners
• Builds self-confidence
• Safe, free from peer pressure
• Intrinsic motivation:
  • Challenged by competing with oneself (doing better next time)
  • Curiosity (can explore new interesting facts without justifying it to the group)
  • Control (use own time and sequence, do not need to report to others)
  • Fantasy (allowing oneself to daydream on certain aspects of the work)
• Develops self-discipline
• Can accommodate own learning style, cognitive style and learning approach
• Can work on own time and at own pace
• Practice skill as often as you wish, to master it.
• Develops personal gratification
• Opportunity for authentic learning to take place based on the individual learning style
