What is Self-Directed Learning?

Self-directed learning is an educational approach in which individuals take responsibility for their own learning process. It involves individuals setting their learning goals, identifying resources, and determining the strategies to acquire knowledge and skills. Self-directed learners actively seek and engage in learning opportunities, whether through independent study, online courses, workshops, or practical experiences. They take ownership of their learning journey, adapt to their preferred learning style, and continuously evaluate their progress. Self-directed learning promotes autonomy, motivation, and lifelong learning skills.
