Self-Directedness in Adult Vocational Education Students: Its Role in Learning and Implications for Instruction.
Fisher, Thomas D.
Journal of Vocational and Technical Education, v12 n1 p27-35 Fall 1995
"Structured flexibility" is a way for educators to create a mutually conducive learning environment for adult self-directedness. Issues to be addressed include a change in instruction for adult educators, teacher empowerment, and a shift from thinking of adult education as adding content or skills to developed persons to adult education as human development.
