• Pure self-directed learning is largely out of our control
• For the vast majority of what we do the needs assessment is our attempt at self-directed education– A good NA is the strongest predictor to
successful activities
– National needs for national initiatives
– Remember: knowledge is national, action is local

• How does the universe of ‘selfs’ learn?– When are our learners able to learn?– How do our learners prefer to learn?– Where do our learners go to learn?

• … while learners may express a desire to be self-directed in their learning, most lack the required understanding of learning necessary to be self-directed.
• … learners indicated a desire for clear instructions regarding how to complete assignments as well as precise information from the course facilitator about which assignments would be graded.
• …the notion of self-directed learning [is] ignorant of issues of power and inequality within educational settings and society as a whole.
• … self-directed learning as a goal that may be desired but not necessarily practical to attain (Schapiro, 2003).
