Summary: Merriam, et al., present a full range of adult education topics. Each section is well documented from the literature and from their collective experiences. Assessment: As a comprehensive guide from long-standing SMEs, this volume covers a full range of adult education topics, and splendidly so. Reflection: I am abundantly grateful for this book, this class, and all that has been made more concrete this semester. Nor, M., & Saeednia, Y. Y. (2008). Exploring self-directed learning among children. Proceedings 48563-568. of World Academy of Science: Engineering & Technology, Summary: This research is a study on SDL, with a target population of 183 Iranian nine-year olds. This study created the Modified Self Directed Learning Readiness (MSDLR), designed for measuring SDL in children by adults. Assessment: The two authors accomplished much within this one research project. In its simplicity, the entire project is brilliant: Take something famous (SDLRS) and morph it in a credible way for scientifically measuring SDL in young children. Reflection: The conclusions in Iranian hammer home the authenticity of this admirable research. The report comes off as unassuming; however, they made it through all the gatekeeping of the Iranian government, and created with original thinking the MSDLR, a unique product in the world of SDL Rozendaal, J.S., Minnaert, A. and Boekaerts, M., (2002), Motivation and self-regulated learning in secondary vocational education: information-processing type and gender differences, 13 (2003) 273–289 Learning and Individual Differences, Summary: Motivation and SRL are key in this research, and a lot of energy is spent discussing how the learners process thought (deep-level or surface-level).
