Learning without a teacher: a study of tasks and assistance during adult self-teaching projects
This monograph, prepared in Canada, and addressed primarily to researchers in adult education and lifelong education, shows the means employed by 40 college graduates who had attempted independent study - It attempts to answer the following questions: 1) What learning activities does the self-teacher perform, how frequently, for how long? Which tasks seem essential? 2) What learning difficulties does he encounter? 3) How much help is received and from whom? The book also covers resource materials, motivation and decision making in self-teaching. Chapter III gives examples of this educational practice in schools, colleges, universities and adult education. The author concludes that a great many persons teach themselves and receive an extraordinary amount of assistance in their efforts.
