Learning in academic terms is for me the tool to acquire knowledge and the only way to develop the skills necessary to solve problems. But in real life, learning for me is a force that gets people where they want to be, it's how information is believed to be used and acquired, in Rogers' words: “I'm talking about LEARNING - the insatiable curiosity that pushes the adolescent to absorb everything he can see, hear or read about petrol engines to improve the efficiency and speed of his 'cruiser'. (Smith, 2013)”. In my personal life, learning is the tool to improve my lifestyle, the quality of my life and the well-being of my family, but learning gives me the opportunity to strengthen my sense of “I can do”. Learning has also become an important part of my life, because in my work I depend on learning, strategies for learning, motivation to learn and creativity that guides my students to learn. So, for me learning is a concept used daily that guides my activities and builds the leader to achieve my goals. On a personal level, as on a professional one, I feel that my greatest strength is that I am a reflective person: I analyze the information that has been given to me and I look for additional information, I always look for the elements that influence my practice and the way where I can improve my classroom management, my activities at school and my professional learning and development. Adding new techniques to my lessons is a common habit that my students appreciate. Innovation and creativity are aspects that I try to include in my learning. On the other hand, giving freedom and autonomy to my students is an issue that needs improvement. I have worked and taught with young children and adults, and both are very dependent, so I have become a... means of paper... read about their learning strategies and would be free to learn according to their own methods, seeking the answers to own questions, “there is evidence that training in self-directed learning activities such as goal setting, self-control, and self-monitoring improves both on-task behavior and academic performance of elementary students compared to untutored control students” and “there is evidence that giving students more control over their learning and improving their self-directed learning skills results in greater feelings of personal efficacy, greater motivation to learn, and greater effort on learning tasks” then the teacher changes his role from the center of learning and the knower to the facilitator, the tutor, the one who believes in his students and promotes their abilities to the maximum (Thomas, 1998).
