Self-directed learning and meta-cognition
I had a thought tonight about self-directed learning (SDL) and meta-cognition. It seems that if you think of SDL as a method that it could be termed as being meta-cognition. Since meta-cognition is someone recognizing how they learn, what motivates them to learn, and how to apply that to any situation, SDL as a method fits that perfectly for me. I'd be interested to hear thoughts on this.
