In a recent Science class, the students of Grade V experienced the power of learning with autonomy. Instead of being passive recipients of information, students took charge of their own learning by researching assigned topics in small groups.
Each group investigated their topic deeply, organized their findings, and created thoughtful presentations using Google Slides and Canva posters. Once prepared, they confidently shared their work with the class, explaining their ideas clearly and responding to peer questions.
This activity went beyond simply covering content, it encouraged students to become self-directed learners, take ownership of their learning, and develop essential skills such as critical thinking, collaboration, and research.
It was inspiring to see how autonomy empowers students to explore, create, and grow beyond the textbook. Activities like these show that when students are trusted to lead their learning, they not only understand concepts better but also gain confidence and creativity .
