Self-directed learning

SDL- self-directed learning is important for adult education. It is a process accompanied and supported by behavioral actives involved in the identification and searching out of information. And the purpose of that is to develop self-directed learners. Thus, it is easy to see that for SDL, the most important thing is desire and ability. Why desire? Image that nobody asks you to read the book, no classes. If you want, you probably could abandon everything. In this point, the desire of learning is important. How to motivate the students is the problems teachers face to. Second is the ability. A student wants to learn, but he or she doesn’t know how to learn is a very sad thing. In this case, teachers should use the fitful strategies to support these kinds of students for learning. Therefore, the impact of online learning on the SDL is: 1) planning, 2) monitoring, 3) evaluating. Thus, study of SDL is significant and is also a new area of exploration. Lot more has to be done to identify many attributes and resources, enabling better online teaching and developing better self developed learners.
