Self-directed learning (SDL) is a process where individuals actively take responsibility for their learning by identifying needs, setting goals, and evaluating outcomes. It is recognized as a key 21st-century skill essential for lifelong learning, encompassing aspects like ownership, self-management, and self-monitoring. Behavioral indicators of effective SDL include setting personal learning goals, critically reflecting on progress, and applying knowledge in new contexts.

1. SELF DIRECTED LEARNING

2. WHAT IS SELF DIRECTED LEARNING ?
A process in which individuals take
the initiative, with or without the help
of others," to diagnose their learning
needs, formulate learning goals,
identify resources for learning, select
and implement learning strategies,
and evaluate learning outcomes

3. SDL As 21st century skill
SDL Listed as a key compenent of the
21st century skills.SDL is also intricately
linked to lifelong learning which has been
listed as demand for modern society by
international organizations such as
UNESCO and OECD.In short, self
direction as now recognized as an
important 21st century skill for our
learners.some important aspect in SDl :
-Ownership of learning
-self management
-self monitoring
-Extension of learning

4. Ownership of learning
The learner’s characteristics or personal
attributes are important to SDL,particulary
possessing personal responsibility in learning.
Brockett and hamstra (1991) argue that personal
responsibility is the cornerstone of SDL.Learners
who take personal responsibility in learning have
ownership of their learning set learning goals,and
accept the concequences of their thought and
actions.Developing sense of ownership of learning
is closely related to the motivation to learn.

5. Self Management
Brockeet and hiemstra(1991) view SDL as an
instructional procees of assessing learner’s
needs,identifying learning
resources,implementing learning activities
and evaluating learning outcomes.It focuses
on teaching learning transaction an
institutional setting that is almost to
individualised to instruction.It involved
negotiation between the learner’sand the
teacher about learning goals,methods of
learning,use the resource,and assesment of
outcomes.

6. Self Monitoring
Self monitoring focuses on both cognitive and
metacognitive aspect of learning,which are
internal to the learner’s.Cognitive
process(thinking,making meaning of
information,and integrating new knowledge into
existing knowledge structure) are necessary in
all learning process.Metacognition refers to
thinking about thinking or learning to
learn,which is related to learner’s ability to
reflect on their learning.

7. Extention Of Learning
In this learning process,
where a learner has total
control about the choice of
what the learn,how to
learn,and how to evaluate
learning.
