Self-Directed Learning Strategies

Abstract

Abstract Abstract: This chapter explains the nature of self-directed learning (SDL) by providing an overview of the leading theoretical frameworks with a synthesis of the latest research. It explores connections that SDL has to constructivism, to learner-centered teaching, and the differences observed between SDL and self-regulation. Methods of measuring SDL are addressed and the various elements of self-directed strategies are explored. Self-directed strategies are presented as an overarching learning approach, one in which the learner conceptualizes, designs, conducts, and evaluates their learning. Components of SDL seen in learners include learning motivation, awareness, learning strategies, learning activities, planning and implementing, self-monitoring, interpersonal communication, and evaluation. Suggestions for the ways in which SDL strategies may be implemented in musical settings are given for the strategies of self-management, self-monitoring, and self-modifying behaviors, in both the applied one-to-one studio and classroom settings.
