Self-Education Technology


 Self-Education Technology is one of the styles that began to spread around the world driven by needs of the individual to learn while he does not have the physical capabilities or capacity of time to attend the study in one of the education institutions.

 Historical background

Started self-learning in Europe and that by the doctor Italian Maria Montessori developed in the early 20 the century AD, a new approach to education encourages children to learn by himself and when the child is a teacher and learner at the same time, have been prepared Montessori room educational self-learning equipped with all the necessary the pupils to develop their practical skills, language, sensory and digital. In an attempt on the part of specialist training for teachers on education in a Montessori teacher Lorna Mahoney for the development of the way was opened Mahoney school on the way Montessori in her home, located in the north-east of London, and in this school there is the beginning of formal study as there is no board black in the classroom does not specify Teacher of the material that students taught to those students throughout the day. This means that the lead is in the hands of the learner, and attached to Lorna on that by saying that the method of Montessori appeared in the early 20th century, was impressed by the members of the aristocracy in Britain and they proposed it, but fought the Second World War disrupted the development of the educational process using that method.

 Definition of self-education

Reached self-education to the Arab region and has become one of the most educational attractive to members given the low level of income of individuals, and their need to more of knowledge at the same time led to the development of this method. Dr. Salah Abdul Sami said that, the self-learning is "the activity of learning carried out by the learner driven by the desire to self in order to develop his aptitudes, abilities and capacities responsive to his tastes and interests to achieve personal development, integration and successful interaction with the community by relying himself and trust in his abilities in the education process and learn the learner how to learn and where to get sources of learning. learn and where to get sources of learning. The goals of self-educational and self-learning as following:

How do we learn self?

can learn to self through the identification of a particular area of learning desired along with a certain level he wants to access it and he could say that the self-learner must follow certain steps including:
1-  determine what the learner wants to learn from the random field?
2- (1)أن يقوم المتعلم بتحديد ما يريد أن يتعلم بصورة دقيقة بعيدا عن العشوائية فإذا تناولنا مجال اللغة فإن على المتعلم أن يحدد ماذا يريد أن يتعلم، هل يريد أن يتعلم المحادثة...؟ (2)أن يبدأ المتعلم في ما يمكن أن تتم تسميته "التعلم على البارد" وهو ما يعني قراءة العديد من الموضوعات في المجال الذي يريد أن يبدأ فيه دون أن يكون ذلك من ضمن عملية "التعلم الساخن" أو المقصود بها التعلم الحقيقي والفعلي وذلك من أجل أن يضع المتعلم نفسه في الإطار الأساسي للموضوع الذي يريد أن يتعلمه، أي أن الغرض الرئيسي من هذه الخطوة هو تكوين خلفية عامة عن موضوع التعلم دون أن يكون تعلما ذاتيا مقصودا ومبرمجا.the start of the learning in what could be termed as "cold learning," which means reading many of the themes in the field who want to start it.
3-(3)أن يلجأ المتعلم في البداية إلى تحديد مستوى معرفته في الموضوع الذي يريد أن يتعلمه ويمكن في هذا السياق السلوك على ناحيتين:333333 to seek the learner at the outset to determine the level of knowledge in the subject he want to learn and can be in two ways:

A-    talk to specialist to determine the level and also provide guidance with respect to self-calendar.

B-    that will make a selection is the same level as well as the design of the different methods of evaluation which is deemed appropriate, depending on the degree of learner understanding of the nature of the material being learned, and this method works in cases of adults, not children. أ- أن يلجأ إلى أحد المتخصصين من أجل تحديد المستوى وكذلك تقديم الإرشادات فيما يتعلق بالتقويم الذاتي.ب- أن يقوم هو نفسه بإجراء تحديد المستوى وكذلك تصميم أساليب التقويم المختلفة التي يراها هو مناسبة وذلك يتوقف على درجة إدراك المتعلم لطبيعة المادة التي يتم تعلمها ويصلح هذا الأسلوب في حالات الراشدين لا الأطفال.(4)اختيار الوسائل التي يمكن من خلالها التعلم وذلك يتطلب أن تكون الخطوات السابقة قد تم تنفيذها بدقة فإذا لم يدرك المتعلم ماذا يريد تعلمه وإذا لم يعرف مستواه فإنه لن يكون قادرا على اختيار الوسيلة المناسبة من أجل أن ينال المعرفة التي يريدها وبالتالي فإن تلك الخطوة تعتمد بالدرجة الأولى على الخطوات التي تسبقها.
(4) choice of the means that can learn him/her
(5) set a timetable for the learner to divide his/her effort for learning and other things.
(6) Make final evaluation when he/she finish from his work.(5)تحديد جدول زمني للمتعلم يتم فيه تقسيم المجهود التعلمي على عدد معين من الساعات أو غيرها من الأساليب التي يراها المتعلم مناسبة مع ضرورة ألا يفرط المتعلم في تقدير قدراته الذاتية أي لا يقوم بتحديد كم كبير على وقت قليل أو العكس لما قد يسببه السلوك الأول من إحباط وما يؤدي إليه السلوك الثاني من هدر غير مبرر للوقت، وهنا يجب على المتعلم أن يترك لنفسه فترة معينة في بداية عملية التعلم يقيس فيها قدراته على الاستيعاب ومدى تأثير العوامل الخارجية من مشاغل اجتماعية وغيرها على عملية التعلم حتى يصل إلى المعادلة المناسبة من مساحة زمنية وحجم العمل المطلوب إنجازه.

In my opinion, this is amazing way for learning. When learner learn what he like that will help him more and more. This way is helpful for all age starting from children to adult.
