The document discusses autonomous learning and how adults engage in learning activities independently to meet their daily needs and solve problems. It provides characteristics of autonomous learners such as being independent, creative, cooperative, and taking responsibility for their own motivation, planning, decision making, and evaluation. Autonomous learners also engage in problem solving cycles by recognizing issues, brainstorming solutions, and implementing plans to address problems. The document references several sources that discuss adult learning and taking control of one's own development.
