Description
Training Kit on Initiative and Self-Direction
Self-Direction Skills
For self-direction to be genuine and effective, it depends on a range of skills in which the secondary-school student should acquire personal capability and inner strength to become a learner capable of properly directing themselves and activating their efforts towards achieving their goals in growth and progress. These secondary-school youths do not learn general skills that apply broadly across a wide range of situations, but rather we learn specific skills that apply to specific works or tasks.
