Self-Directed Learning in Computing and the Path to Employment

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

Abstract

We report here on results from an on-going investigation of how computing professionals perceive and value self-directed learning, based on a qualitative analysis of interviews with ten computing professionals in the UK and elsewhere. The professionals expect that future colleagues will have a well-developed ability to learn on their own and indicate that they use a range of resources, strategies, and collaborators to help them learn. These interviews were then taken as a basis for innovations within the teaching and learning environment of students at Aberystwyth University
