Self-directed learning is an instructional strategy where the students, with guidance from the teacher, decide what and how they will learn. It can be done individually or with group learning, but the overall concept is that students need to take ownership of their learning.
One component is management and monitoring.The teacher takes on a supporting and advising role while students manage their own learning process and monitor their own progress.
Learning needs are assessed by the students and teachers help them in this process.
Collaboration is the third component. Since this learning can be done in groups,therefore, students collbarate with other students to gain knowledge and experience and reach their learning objectives.
Self evaluation is done by the students by themselves at the end of the learning process.Students should get input from other students as well as the teacher to find areas that may need improvement.
