LEARNING ALL OVER THE PLACE!
“What is the biggest challenge in learning?
- I didn’t know whether I learned enough, I did not systematically apply and learn and review and adjust or look for new information, new experts and whatnot. So I was all over the place.”
Thank you to Charmaine Yeap Xun Fang for interviewing me for her research title, “Exploring Adult Learner’s Self-Directed Learning Characteristics for Lifelong Learning in Their Professional Career.”
View the 0.5-hour video of the interview (Exploring Self-Directed Learning) above.
In the interview I shared how self-directed learning can become highly effective by taking 7 steps: find, inspect, delve, practice, review, achieve, and wrapped in a project management plan!
I thank again Johan Irwan Kamarozaman for introducing to me the field of “heutagogy” for me to make sense of my self-learning. He shared with me the valuable book, “Self-Determined Learning: Heutagogy in Action” edited by Stewart Hase and Chris Kenyon.
Another reference that I found is technically detailed, yet a useful book to further guide me in my self-learning: “Cognitive Productivity: Using Knowledge to Become Profoundly Effective” by Luc P. Beaudoin.

Happy self-directed learning!
