Self directed learning

Self directed learning is a type of studying that is more efficient than basic learning which
include just writing, reading and arithmetic. A positive-self concept, knowing capacities and
clarity of value and the desire for innovation features self directed learning.

There are some factors that emphasize self-directed learning like motivation, student’s
interests and the attributive theory.

Motivation is a key factor in self-directed learning because without a strong motivation a


student can’t learn very well and the curiosity is minimum. People which are well motivated will
have the tendency of learning much more when a particular task is not easy. People who are
afraid of failure will usually select easiest task to do.

The attributive theory is about people which consider that a great success is just their
own work.

Student’s interest if student’s find the school program unattractive they won’t learn
because their interest is minimum. The freedom of choice is a good solution for this problem
which is major in our society right now.

Self directed education have a strong role in this areas: cognitive, moral, affective,
social, ego development.

Cognitive is about how students makes wise choices to achieve their goals

Affective is about how students learn to see a failure as a learning experience.

Social area is where the students take place in society. And about how they integrate into
competitive and cooperative groups.

Moral students will take good choices if a conflict will arise in the classroom because
they have a strong character.

Ego development in this case students know that their own powers will take place in the
society and they are conscious that everyone can succed in a world like this.

In conclusion a person should not acquire only encyclopedic informations. People should
gather experience to live well in a society like this. A strong character of a person can’t be based
only in study a strong character shoul know how to take choices in a world where poor and
climate disorder are a big problem.
