Keywords:
Self-Directed Learning, Comprehensive Curricula, Intrinsic Motivation, Self-Regulation, Critical ThinkingAbstract
This article reviews the impact of Self-Directed Learning Theory on the development of
comprehensive curricula. Using a descriptive analysis method, the history and key concepts
of Self-Directed Learning Theory were first examined. The study then analyzed the effects
of this theory on curriculum design, the role of teachers, and the learning process of
students. The findings indicate that curricula based on self-directed learning can enhance
motivation, improve academic performance, and develop critical thinking and problemsolving skills. Additionally, teachers in these programs should act as facilitators and guides.
The article also discusses the challenges and opportunities associated with implementing
this theory in educational settings. Finally, suggestions for curriculum development and
future research are provided.
