Abstract: This paper intends to enlighten educators of adults about some essential elements of self-directed learning and the role of a facilitator. It aims at stimulating thoughts and questions about adult learning. Knowing how adults learn is crucial to educators in facilitating adult learning. The application of strategies for self-directed learning allow adult learners to advance their studies while fulfilling family, work and other commitments (Khiat, H 2015). Developing qualitative processes and programs can enhance self-directed learning. They can provide a conducive learning environment that promotes student growth and facilitates proficiency and professionalism. By developing qualities built around adult appropriate methodologies, teachers can help to enhance student cognition.
