Full house at the SLR-CLT Clubhouse

It was full house yesterday in the SLR-CLT Computer Clubhouse in Purok San Lorenzo Ruiz, Brgy. San Juan, Taytay, Rizal. More than 30 learners came to the center and all of them had one-hour of hands-on time on the computer. It was of a bit of a challenge because a lot of them just wanted to play games in the computer and were not really thinking of learning a new skill. So I think I need to find some sort of compromise so they can have fun playing educational computer games and learn something new at the same time. I think if you know and are conscious of what needs to be done, then eventually you will be guided and find ways to achieve your goals. But then now, it bothers me that it's only me setting the goals for the learners, which to me sounds more traditional teaching and unconstructivist. I think the constructivist way, follows the rule that learners are self-guided and are able to set their very own learning goals. And that is what I need to do in the  SLR-CLT Computer Clubhouse, as the learning facilitator. I need to motivate and encourage learners to take control of their learning, to be more responsible and committed to self-learning, rather than wait for the 'teacher' or mentor to think for them. This poses more questions for me as a trained educator on the value of lesson plannng. My point is most teachers are trained  to plan instructional goals for their students and this can be usually seen in the first part of any teacher's lesson plan. Most lesson plans, say "At the end of the class, the student must be able to ..." to do this and do that and then the teacher uses Bloom's taxonomy to complete the lesson plan's objectives. Now my question is - "What if it's not just the teacher saying what needs to be done and it's now the learners who will do the goal-setting on their own?  How would teachers react to this and how would this change teaching strategies?  I think this is the trend that has been going on for some years now especially in the Western countries. Some would call it the constructivist approach in teaching, and some others would extend it more to a constructionist approach. I think it's high-time in this country for teachers to adopt to new and innovative approaches in effecting learning inside and outside the classroom!
