The Influence of Age on Self-Directed Learning in University and Community Adult Art Students.

Jones, Jean Ellen

Studies in Art Education, v34 n3 p158-66 Spr 1993

Reviews research on the relationship between self-directed learning and selected demographic predictors. Concludes that student age may be an important determinant of success at the college level but is not significant in postsecondary art education programs. Finds that education level is a more accurate predictor among older adults. (CFR)
