A Critical Theory of Self-Directed Learning.
Mezirow, Jack
New Directions for Continuing Education, n25 p17-30 Mar 1985
This article argues that self-directed learning should be viewed not as the application of a particular technique but as the capacity of adults for critical self-reflection and for changing their lives. The author speculates on the purposes, processes, and conditions required for learning aimed at such awareness. (CT)
