Independent work as a learning skill involves which of the following?

  1. Collaborating regularly with peers

  2. Completing tasks under supervision

  3. Monitoring and revising personal progress

  4. Engaging solely in group projects

The correct answer is: Monitoring and revising personal progress

Independent work as a learning skill centers on the ability of students to manage their own learning processes. This involves self-assessment and reflecting on their progress, which is a crucial aspect of developing independence in learning. By monitoring and revising personal progress, students take responsibility for their own academic journey, assess their strengths and weaknesses, and make adjustments to improve their performance. This skill not only prepares them for academic success but also equips them for lifelong learning, where self-directedness is key. The other choices revolve more around collaboration and teamwork or dependence on others for guidance, which does not align with the concept of independent work. Monitoring and revising personal progress is the foundational element that fosters autonomy and encourages students to set and achieve their own learning goals.
