Learning contracts are useful tools that allow students to take an active role in structuring their own education. In contrast to traditional teaching methods where teachers determine all assignments without student input, learning contracts involve negotiation between the student and teacher to determine specific learning objectives, how and when they will be achieved, and how progress will be assessed. This encourages students to become intrinsically motivated and take responsibility for their own learning. Learning contracts provide flexibility to meet individual student needs and abilities while fostering self-directed learning skills.
