A self-directed classroom design is an approach to education in which students have more control over their learning. Students are given the freedom to choose what and how they learn. The teacher acts as a facilitator, guiding and supporting the students as they explore their interests and pursue their learning goals. The design empowers students to take ownership of their education and develop important skills such as self-motivation, self-assessment, and critical thinking. This type of classroom design is often associated with project-based learning, where students work on long-term projects that require them to research, analyze, and creatively solve problems independently.
