Beyond Self-Directed Learning: A Partnership Model of Teaching and Learning

Abstract

A model of teaching and learning is described which distinguishes between self-directed (where the focus is on autonomy and independence) and partnership learning (where the focus is on developing meaningful partnerships between teachers and learners that encourage both self-direction and cooperation in learning). The model has three dimensions: control of choices in learning, types of learning situations, and approaches to learning. It is suggested that both teachers and learners need to rethink the learning process, recognize multiple-almost unlimited-opportunities for learning, and develop the skills to become more effective at learning with and from others.
