Question:
on behalf of my wife who is doing research on " Self-directed learning, or autonomous learning - specifically in Nursing studies ".
She is trying to find some material and references on this subject.
If you have any info or references give me suggestions.
Answer:
Well here's a list from the adult education classes I've been taking:
Knowles, M.S. (1975). Self Directed Learning: A guide for Learners and Teachers. Chicago: Follett. Tough, A. (1979). The Adult's Learning Projects: A Fresh Approach to Theory and Practice in Adult Learning. Toronto: Ontario Institue for Studies in Education. Brookfield, S.D. (1985). "Analyzing a Critical Paradigm of Self-Directed Learning: A Response." Adult Education Quarterly, 36 (1), 60-64. Knowles, M.S. (1986). Using Learning Contracts. San Francisco: Jossey-Bass. Knowles, M.S. (1980). The Modern Practice of Adult Education: From Pedagogy to Andragogy. Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice Hall.
And here's some nursing references from my textbooks reference list:
American Nurses' Association. (1978). Self-Directed Continuing Education in Nursing. Kansas City: American Nurses' Association. American Nurses' Association. (1978). Continuing Education in Nursing: Guidelines for Staff Development. Kansas City: American Nurses' Association. Clark, K. M. (1986). "Recent Developments in Self-Directed Learning." The Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing. 17 (3), 76-80. Now back to my adult ed take home final. Sigh.
