Self-Directed Learner
Learning Habits
/ By Jeff Cobb
/ 34 COMMENTS
While lifelong learning and self-directed learning are not equivalent, they
overlap substantially. I think the following points apply equally to both. The
successful lifelong learner is someone who:
1. Takes initiative
This first one is core to the entire concept of “self-directed.” The successful
self-directed learner does not wait for someone else to say “you must learn
this.”
How effectively are you cultivating these ways in those you teach (your
children, you members, you employees, your students – you name it.)
P.S. – These “ways” have been extracted from a description in a 1977 survey
that ultimately led to development of the Self-Directed Learning Readiness
Scale, which was subsequently renamed the Learning Preferences
Assessment. In the post above, I have expanded upon the characteristics
highlighted in the description with my own comments.
