A self-directed learning format, grounded in Malcolm Knowles's concept of andragogy, was used in an introductory management course for upper division undergraduates. The rationale for use, along with the detailed design of the course and its conduct are described. The outcomes are presented in terms of student reactions, typical learning outcomes, and new issues facing the instructor. Suggestions for improvements to the design and for the application of self-directed learning practices are offered.

The SeDLE (Self-directed Learning Environment) Index is developed to measure the strength and ability of the learning environment to facilitate self-directed learning. This is a conceptual paper to explain the development and validation of the SeDLE index. Evidence showed that a self-directed learning environment exhibits a self-directed learner in promoting one's quality of life. The self-directed environment will support and inhibit the ability to function with less supervision among learners thus viewed as a solution to reduce the problem of spoon feeding in the classrooms.

In this article, levels of readiness for auto-managed learning are explored in Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula, Honduras. Data from the Honduran sample are cumulated; aggregated results are compared with a similiar previous inquiry conducted in the United States. Before presenting and discussing the conclusions drawn from the Honduran survey, the authors introduce and define the concept of self directed learning, review selected literature, and describe the test instruments and methodology employed in this particular field study

Rolf Arnold is a renowned German professor of adult and vocational education. This chapter presents an analysis of Arnold's systemic-constructivist perspective on selfdirected learning in comparison to international perspectives on self-directed learning and its facilitation in formal educational settings. Arnold's thesis highlights that competence development must be considered from a holistic perspective. That is, educational experiences from birth may strongly shape one's inclinations, preferences, and competencies in adult life. In order to facilitate the fostering of self-directed learning competence and in order to prepare learners for working and living in a modern world, it is discussed that an educational system needs to function holistically toward the goal of competence development across learners' life course. Practical implications and further research directions are given.

In order to prevent transmission of Covid-19, the government and universities agreed to temporarily stop face-to-face lectures and replace them with distance learning in the form of online lectures. Even so, the implementation of distance learning in the form of online lectures has different characteristics from face-to-face lectures, because the role of students in online learning is far greater than the role of students in face-to-face lectures so that they require self-directed learning readiness from students so that distance learning is done can be effective. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct research on students' self-directed learning readiness in attending online lectures during the Covid-19 pandemic. The research method used in this study is a survey, a survey conducted on 78 students. The results showed that students 'self-directed learning readiness was still at a moderate stage, so it was necessary to make an effort to identify students' self-directed learning needs and to arrange a more complete online learning schedule. Abstrak Dalam rangka mencegah penularan Covid-19, pemerintah dan perguruan tinggi sepakat untuk menghentikan sementara waktu perkuliahan tatap muka dan menggantinya dengan pendidikan jarak jauh dalam bentuk perkuliahan daring. Meskipun demikian, pelaksanaan pendidikan jarak jauh dalam bentuk perkuliahan daring ini, memiliki karakteristik yang berbeda dengan perkuliahan tatap muka, karena peran mahasiswa dalam pembelajaran daring jauh lebih besar dibandingkan peran mahasiswa dalam perkuliahan tatap muka sehingga memerlukan self-directed learning readiness dari maha-siswa agar pendidikan jarak jauh yang dilakukan dapat efektif. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan penelitian terhadap self-directed learning readiness mahasiswa dalam mengikuti perkuliahan daring di masa pandemi Covid-19 ini. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu survey yang dilakukan kepada 78 orang mahasiswa Sekolah Tinggi Teologi Cipanas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa self-directed learning ...
