Abstract

Self-directed learning is a trait, process, and context as evidenced by adult education researchers. However, studies have sporadically centered on self-directed learning from the viewpoint of web-enabled or blended environments. Technology and internet have convoyed knowledge to the fingertips of learners, but many of them do not possess the ability of autonomy in learning. On the other hand, educators are also unaware of the conceptual underpinnings of self-directed learning and the nature of knowledge and skills needs to be instilled among the learners to transform them from listeners to learning leaders. This chapter while considering the context of blended learning came up with the model of self-directed learning on the evidence furnished by the related research studies. Recommendations for future research are also suggested.
