Self determination is believing you can control your own destiny. Self-determination is a combination of attitudes and abilities that lead people to set goals for themselves, and to take the initiative to reach these goals. It is about being in charge, but is not necessarily the same thing as self-sufficiency or independence. It means making your own choices, learning to effectively solve problems, and taking control and responsibility for one's life. Practicing self-determination also means one experiences the consequences of making choice.
VERY OFTEN our students do not have this attribute. Included in this Moodle will be an assessment for base line information as well as instructional material to assist students in gaining increased awareness related to self-determination and support information and materials for instructors.
