Self-Directed Learning: Learning in the 21st Century

Lynde Tan, Joyce H. Koh

Research output: Book/Research ReportAuthored Book

Abstract

The Singapore Ministry of Education has developed the third Masterplan for Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in Education that posits self-directed learning as one of the key 21st century skills that should be nurtured in our students (Teo & Ting, 2010). Singapore teachers have theories and models to help them teach effectively in didactic learning environments. However, less is known about self-directed learning and how this can be fostered and sustained in our schools, despite its importance for Singapore’s 21st century education.
