This paper explores international experiences in developing independent learning skills among primary school students, with a focus on practices in Finland, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and South Korea. Drawing from contemporary educational theory and cross-national case studies, the analysis highlights how pedagogical approaches, cultural expectations, and systemic structures shape learners’ capacity for autonomy and self-regulation.
