Abstract

Self-directedness is emphasized and demanded as a core competency for learners living in a globalized and informatized society. Therefore, the correct understanding of the self - directed learning that emphasizes the learner s self - initiative will be a direction for the education of our society to move forward. Therefore, we analyzed how self - directed learning is understood through previous studies related to self - directed learning. First, I discussed the concept of self - directed learning and self - regulated learning, which are mixed-used in Korea. Next, I looked at national level curriculum and school site to understand self - directed learning in unitary school. As a result, self-directed learning and self-regulated learning tend to be mixed with each other due to the similarity of constitutional factors, although the background and approach are different. Also, since self-directed learning requires a core process of self-regulation, the term ‘self-regulated learning’ is considered to be included in self-directed learning in a bigger angle. In addition, the self - directed learning of the unitary school curriculum and the school site is not merely a means to achieve any goal, while it should be studied as the purpose itself.. Therefore, this study discussed the importance of teachers role in the future direction of self - directed learning and the necessity of various approaches for this.
