Extant Corpus on Intentional Learning Skill and Reflective Learning Log

Abstract

Intentional learning consists of the ability to learn how to learn, develop critical self-awareness and exercise full accountability for learning. It is highly effective in producing effective learners in a loosely structured learning environment in line with today’s student-centric teaching-learning paradigm. Intentional learning equips students with the necessary skills to actively participate in, self-direct, and regulate their learning so they can fulfill their goals. Through this metamorphosis, students develop intrinsic motivation and self-efficacy for learning, laying the groundwork for lifelong learning capability. The foundational framework of intentional learning is: (1) Learner’s trust and confidence in their learning capacity; (2) Learner highly engage in one learning and possessed critical awareness of what and how to learn; (3) Learner begins with the learning outcome in mind, realize the efforts required to unlearn, learn and unlearn with high valence; (4) Leaner able to master the learning content and learning objectives; and (5) Leaner able to exercise self-regulation and accountability in learning.
