- Synopsis
- The book investigates the Reading Circles (RCs) learning opportunity as a mode of autonomous learning in the Middle East tertiary education context. This investigation presents learners' positive perceptions of learner autonomy and their readiness to adopt related practices. Building on findings from these RCs, the book introduces collaborative learner autonomy (CLA) as a novel interpretation of learner autonomy for use in educational contexts in the Middle East. The CLA put forward in the book emphasizes the constructive role of teachers and educational establishments with other stakeholders in developing autonomy in their learners. As a theory of gradual development of learner autonomy, CLA represents a new dynamic learner autonomy development process consisting of individual, competitive, collaborative, and autonomous stages. The book also suggests that it is a shared responsibility that students, teachers, educational establishments, families, society and the educational systems should assume in a spirit of partnership.
