Exploring Student Perceptions of Self-Access Learning for Active Learning: A Case Study
Despite much being written about self-access learning and active learning, both still remain definitionally evasive concepts.How both are conceptualised is very often dependent upon how they are interpreted within the context they are implemented in.Hence, making sense of the relationship between self-access learning and active learning poses a pro
