Introduction
Continuing process We know how to be taught; we
haven’t learn how to learn Most learning is informal and self-
directed in nature
![Page 6: Effective Self-directed Learning Malcolm Shepherd Knowles (1913 - 1997)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e045503460f94af024c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Think, Pair & Share
What is learning??
![Page 7: Effective Self-directed Learning Malcolm Shepherd Knowles (1913 - 1997)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e045503460f94af024c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Learning:
A continuing process resulting in some modification, relatively permanent, of the way of thinking, feeling, doing, of the learners
The process of acquisition of new knowledge, skills, attitudes, values, behaviours, preferences, & understanding…..
![Page 8: Effective Self-directed Learning Malcolm Shepherd Knowles (1913 - 1997)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e045503460f94af024c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Learning means making use of every resource in or out of educational institutions for our personal growth and development
![Page 9: Effective Self-directed Learning Malcolm Shepherd Knowles (1913 - 1997)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e045503460f94af024c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What is SDL?
![Page 10: Effective Self-directed Learning Malcolm Shepherd Knowles (1913 - 1997)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e045503460f94af024c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
What is SDL? Is the process for which the individual learner
takes the initiative and the responsibility (with or without help) to: assess educational needs, set goals and objectives, plan and identify appropriate
educational activities, implement those activities, and evaluate the outcomes.
![Page 11: Effective Self-directed Learning Malcolm Shepherd Knowles (1913 - 1997)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e045503460f94af024c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Goal and objectives
• A goal or objective is defined as: an end toward which an effort is directed. Goal - broad educational objective, Objective – specific measurable objective.
![Page 12: Effective Self-directed Learning Malcolm Shepherd Knowles (1913 - 1997)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e045503460f94af024c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Goals and objectives are important because they do the following:
o Help direct the choice of curricular contento Suggest what learning methods will be most effective
o Enable evaluation of learners and the curriculum
o Suggest what evaluation methods are appropriate
o Clearly communicate to others what the curriculum addresses and hopes to achieve.
![Page 13: Effective Self-directed Learning Malcolm Shepherd Knowles (1913 - 1997)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e045503460f94af024c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Four Essential Issues?
Educational needs, Goals & objectives, Appropriate educational activities, implementation, Evaluation of the outcomes.
Could you give me an example??
![Page 14: Effective Self-directed Learning Malcolm Shepherd Knowles (1913 - 1997)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e045503460f94af024c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Why SDL?
![Page 15: Effective Self-directed Learning Malcolm Shepherd Knowles (1913 - 1997)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e045503460f94af024c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Psychological development
SDL is more in tune with our natural process of psychological development
When we are born we are totally dependent
As we grow and mature we develop the need for independence
![Page 16: Effective Self-directed Learning Malcolm Shepherd Knowles (1913 - 1997)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e045503460f94af024c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Match the new movement in adult education Pedagogy VS andragogy Students centered PBL Curricula Computer-based education So, prepare learners
![Page 17: Effective Self-directed Learning Malcolm Shepherd Knowles (1913 - 1997)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e045503460f94af024c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Andragogy is the antonym of pedagogy. In pedagogy, the concern is with transmitting the content, while in andragogy, the concern is with facilitating the acquisition of the content. Andragogy is a theory developed by Knowles (1913-97) which differentiates the needs of adult learners from those of juveniles and uses the term andragogy to describe the specific methods which should be employed in the education of adults.
![Page 18: Effective Self-directed Learning Malcolm Shepherd Knowles (1913 - 1997)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e045503460f94af024c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The adult learner moves towards independence and is self-directing. The teacher encourages and nurtures this movement.
The learner's experience is a rich resource for learning. Hence teaching methods include discussion, problem-solving etc.
People learn what they need to know, so that learning programs are organized around life application.
Learning experiences should be based around experiences, since people are performance centered in their learning.
![Page 19: Effective Self-directed Learning Malcolm Shepherd Knowles (1913 - 1997)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e045503460f94af024c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Life long learning Skills
We must learn from everything we do
We must exploit every experience as a “learning experience”
Every institution in the community becomes a resource for learning
![Page 20: Effective Self-directed Learning Malcolm Shepherd Knowles (1913 - 1997)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e045503460f94af024c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Andragogy requires that adult learners be involved in the identification of their learning needs and the planning of how those needs are satisfied. Learning should be an active rather than a passive process. Adult learning is most effective when concerned with solving problems that have relevance to the learner's everyday experience.
![Page 21: Effective Self-directed Learning Malcolm Shepherd Knowles (1913 - 1997)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e045503460f94af024c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
When SDL becomes more powerful?
When we decide:1. What areas of knowledge and skills we need
to gain in order to get something done (our learning needs and goals)
2. How we will gain the areas of knowledge and skills (our learning objectives and activities)
3. How we will know that we've gained the areas of knowledge and skills (learning evaluation)
