Session Abstract

It is designed to equip adult learners with the skills to organize and integrate essential elements of a selected topic, and construct an adaptable, concise process for current and lifelong learning.
Session Description
The Self-Determined Learning Template (SDLT) is an innovative, proven and effective instrument for expanding an individual’s knowledge, facilitating retention, and cultivating critical thinking. While not intended to replace formal academic research, this method introduces a systematic way that enables any individual to explore and thoroughly learn and even master a topic. Its main elements are simple enough to commit to memory when needed.
Anyone with basic computer skills can create an SDLT. It is designed as a modifiable word-processed document, and can be adapted to analyze and evaluate essentially any written or even oral information.
The structured process may be used with a general topic or subject, or with a narrow subdivision of a topic. It is personalized, and can be used to assist in research or as a material reference when studying for a test, writing a paper, presenting a speech, or leading a discussion. It can be applied to an article, a book (or chapter in a book), a concept, theory, argument, practice, organization, and more.
As the SDLT method is not culture-specific, it can translate easily into other languages and is most useful when the Internet is readily accessible.
