Self-directed learning (SDL) has become a major topic within adult education literature. Addressing the impact of various educational games on the student motivation levels and the development of SDL especially for learning math have helped to determine the important resources to be applied in order for monitoring the learner progress.

Abstract It has been proposed that we think of continuing medical education (CME) as a two-stranded helix, in which one strand represents the internal characteristics of the learner-physician, the other strand the culture and environment in which he or she practices and lives. In many countries, the product of these two strands has been increasingly termed ‘continuing professional development’...

Studies of self-directed learning (SDL) have generally concentrated on who self-directed learners are and what/how they learn.

Tough (1967), Guglielmino (1977), and Spear and Mocker (1984) have respectively characterized SDL as primarily a pedagogical variable, psych...
