Managing Self-directed Learning in Primary School Education ― Emerging Research and Opportunities

Writing for researchers and educators, Deur clarifies notions of self-directed learning (SDL) as it relates to students in primary school. She examines the role and function of SDL knowledge in developing effective self-directed learners, describes the development of a two-part assessment tool to assess knowledge of SDL, and details how to use the assessment to examine the inter-relationship between students and school curriculum variables and their effect on students; knowledge of SDL. It is important for students to understand SDL, she says, because their understanding is the basis for their SDL behavior. Annotation ©2017 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
