SELF-DIRECTED

LEARNING QUESTIONS

FRAMEWORK
10 ESSENTIAL SELF-DIRECTED LEARNING QUESTIONS EVERY LEARNER CAN USE
www.wabisabilearning.com
Our goal in education is to equip learners to think for themselves
and build prosperous lives beyond school. Essential self-directed
learning questions like these are a step in the right direction.
The following framework has some essential self-directed learning
questions broken down into further key points for consideration.
This isn’t an all-inclusive framework, but it’s a basic guideline for
further exploration and development.
Have learners use these points to examine the value of each
question and consider how to apply it to their own self-directed
learning pursuits.
