Self-Directed Learning in Introductory Management

Abstract

A self-directed learning format, grounded in Malcolm Knowles's concept of andragogy, was used in an introductory management course for upper division undergraduates. The rationale for use, along with the detailed design of the course and its conduct are described. The outcomes are presented in terms of student reactions, typical learning outcomes, and new issues facing the instructor. Suggestions for improvements to the design and for the application of self-directed learning practices are offered.
