¤ Self-directed learning is based on some of the principles of adult learning such as:
1. Adults are self-motivated to learn material for which they see relevance.
2. Adults’ prior experience is a resource for further learning.
3. Adults are problem focused and readily learn material they can use to solve problems.
Components of Self-Learning Module
