“Capable People”
“The world is no place for the inflexible, the unprepared,
and the ostrich with head in sand, and this applies to organizations as well as
individuals.”

the responsibility for what occurs. Individuals select, manage, and assess
their own learning activities...”

Self-directed Learning“Broadly, as a process in which
individuals take the initiative with or without the help of other[s], to diagnose their learning needs,
formulate learning goals, identify resources for learning, select and
implement learning strategies, and evaluate learning outcomes.” –
Malcolm Knowles, 1975
Self-directed Learning“Self-directed learning is any increase in knowledge, skill, accomplishment or
personal development that an individual selects and brings about by
his or her own efforts, using any method, in any circumstances, at any
time.” – Maurice Gibbons

The Seven Laws of Teaching
John Milton Gregory 1888The Seven Laws of Teaching
1. A teacher must be one who knows the lesson or truth to be taught.2. A learner is one who attends with interest to the lesson given.3. The language used as a medium between teacher and learner must be common to both.4. The lesson to be learned must be explicable in the terms of truth already known by the learner.5. Teaching is arousing and using the pupil’s mind to form in it a desired conception or thought.
John Milton Gregory 1888The Seven Laws of Teaching
6. Learning is thinking into one’s own under standing a new idea or truth. re-knowing, and re-producing of the knowledge taught.7. The test and proof of teaching done — the finishing and fastening process — must be a re-viewing, re-thinking, re-knowing, and re-producing of the knowledge taught.
