Autonomy, Accountability and Adult Learning.
Leach, Linda
New Zealand Journal of Adult Learning, v29 n2 p25-45 Nov 2001
The concept of the autonomous learner underlies discourse in self-directed, experiential, transformative, and lifelong learning. However, full autonomy is rarely possible for reasons of culture, gender, and class. Extensive accountability requirements also limit the autonomy of learners, teachers, and institutions.
