AUTONOMOUS LEARNING: LEARNING MANAGEMENT TO LOGICAL THINKING FOR SOCIAL PHENOMENON
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Logical thinking is a cognitive process that emphasizes analyzing and reasoning to find the true meaning of information. This type of thinking can be applied in decision-making before accepting information or in supporting opinions on global social phenomena in the 21st century. Examples of social phenomena include political movements, especially among youth who frequently express conflicting opinions, often leading to violence. This article not only highlights the importance of logical thinking in decision-making but also emphasizes the significance of autonomous learning. The term “independence” is defined by the Royal Institute Dictionary, 2011 edition, as the state of self-determination, for instance, lacking independence or separating to become independent. When viewed through the lens of education, “independence” is associated with an educational approach called Autonomous Learning, which refers to a type of learning where individuals create their own knowledge in a meaningful way. Autonomous learning promotes students’ logical thinking by encouraging them to seek knowledge independently and continuously as part of their daily lives, without being confined by structured class hours or traditional classroom settings.
