#self-directed learning
- Andragogy — The science and practice of adult education, focusing on teaching and learning strategies, methods, and principles specifically adapted to the needs, life experiences, and internal motivation of mature individuals. Unlike pedagogy, this structural process treats the adult learner as an autonomous, self-directed subject, oriented toward solving immediate practical problems and actively involved in their own continuous training.
- Autodidactic — Belonging to autodidacts or self-education, relating to learning on one's own; a method, activity, or educational system based on individual, independent, and self-directed study.
