International Self-Directed Learning Symposium Annual Books

International Self-Directed Learning Symposia:

Annual Publications from Symposia Presentations

Authors and Chapter or Article Titles

NOTE: Many thanks to Travis Plowman, The College of Saint Rose, for sharing inclusive page numbering information for the annual Symposia publications. These data are needed in creating accurate citational information according to the American Psychological Association's manual (5th Edition, 2001). Travis provided this material during a presentation at the 2005 International Self-Directed Learning Symposium, February 2-5, Cocoa Beach, FL, entitled International Self-Directed Learning Symposia Publications: Index. Travis also discovered some errors that existed in my initial work and that help is appreciated, too.

Therefore, this information is incorporated below for all Symposia through 2003. In addition, I have added information pertaining to the on-line Journal, International Journal of Self-Directed Learning, for volume years 2004-2009. The journal is the current venue for displaying those Symposia papers accepted for subsequent publication, as well as other articles. Chapter or article titles are in bold to facilitate their identification. Finally, following the page numbers I have included authors' first names and related naming information as provided by authors in the original publications for those creating citations for different stylistic requirements.

The following quote comes from the Travis Plowman paper, p. 22, noted earlier in this document and explains why three different page numbers were determined for the 2001 chapters: "Note: This publication represents a transition in publishing symposium refereed papers from book format to CD-ROM format. CD-ROM publications contained the book in MS-Word (.doc) and Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) files. The chapters in the Word version were numbered page 1 starting over at 1 at the beginning of each chapter. There were no consecutive page numbers in the Word version. The Adobe version was not page numbered."

A Content Analysis

This section represents an effort to analyze the variety and number of chapters in the various books and now those articles appearing in the new online International Journal of Self-Directed Learning. To accomplish this, a quick and simple content analysis was carried out. Nine categories emerged based on comparisons of the various publications. This involved skimming through each chapter and article to obtain a sense of the one or more focal points intended by the various authors. Then each focal point resulted in a tally being added to the appropriate category. It was possible in the scheme used for the comparisons that a chapter or article could have received more than one tally. For example, a chapter or article might have focused on furthering our understanding of the SDLRS, while at the same time making significant contributions to knowledge or theory building. In that case, two different tallies would have been recorded. Thus, the overall tally scores are greater than the actual number of chapters and articles. The miscellaneous category increases in number since 2002 because of the greater emphasis on technology and e-learning in those years. Because the decisions about which category to use in making one or more tallies for a chapter or article were made by only one person and after only skimming through each piece once, it is highly likely that another person doing a content analysis of all book chapters and journal articles would develop a somewhat different framework of understanding.

Table 1 shows the derived categories and number of corresponding chapters or articles through the Fall, 2006, journal issue that focused some or all of their subject matter within each.

Some trends are beginning to emerge from this content analysis effort. There appears to be a growing or steady interest in understanding the relationship between variables in relation to SDL. In addition, there is a growing or steady interest in using and developing measurement tools as a way of gathering information, often for purposes of comparing some variables. There also appears to be increasing attention to understanding both learners and the instructional processes associated with SDL. Finally, there is an increasing examination of the ways people learn via technology in relation to SDL. In conclusion, the wide variety of interests and growing number of interested scholars suggests there still is much more to be added to the knowledge base.

Since the initial symposium in 1986, there have been more than 240 different authors from many countries affiliated in some way with one or more book chapters and journal articles. Countless others have served on panels, presented papers, or in some other way helped continue the success of the annual meetings. Figure 1 lists those who contributed four or more times as chapter or article authors or co-authors.
