About the Symposium:
The International Self-Directed Learning Symposium provides an international forum for the
discussion of important current developments in the study and application of self-directed
learning. The program design emphasizes intensive individual participation and group
exploration of problems, issues and concepts. Program structure includes large group
sessions as well as small group interaction opportunities.
Theoreticians and practitioners are invited to submit a one-to-two page proposal for paper
and poster presentations concerning self-directed learning in childhood education, higher
education, adult education, and training and human resource development.
International participants have included representatives from Australia, Canada, China,
France, Germany, Malaysia, Mexico, Nigeria, Portugal, South Korea, and the United
Kingdom. Trainers and resource development specialists have represented the following
Organizations: U.S. Department of Defense, State of Georgia, South Florida Water
Management District, Digital Equipment, Ernst & Young, Fleming, IBM, Motorola, Revco
Inc., Niagara Mohawk Power, and others. A wide range of U.S. colleges, universities, and
12 school systems have been represented in the symposium from across the US and from
many other countries.
Participants have opportunities to learn a variety of procedures and information including:
(a) the results of recent research on self-direction in learning,
(b) new developments in the application of self-directed learning ideas in diverse settings,
(c) how to assess employees and students’ self-directed learning orientations, and
(d) how to develop and strengthen self directed learning propensities and abilities.
In addition, a number of important networks and collaborative relationships have been
developed by symposium participants.

Hosted By
International Society for Self-Directed Learning
The International Society for Self-Directed Learning was founded in 2005. We are dedicated to the promotion of self-directed lifelong learning and to the encouragement and dissemination of continued research on self-directed learning both within and outside of institutional contexts: in childhood education, higher education, adult education, training and human resource development, as well as informal and non-formal contexts.
The 24th International Self-Directed Learning Symposium held on Feb. 4-6, 2010 at Cocoa Beach, FL, was a huge success! The 123 individuals who registered represents by far the most attendees since the symposium began.
