Abstract: Self-directed learning empowers students to take control of their educational journey, particularly in technical fields where continuous skill development is essential. This study investigates effective strategies for promoting self-directed learning in technical education programs. The objective is to identify approaches that foster autonomy, motivation, and lifelong learning skills among technical students. A survey research design is employed, targeting a sample size of 250 technical students and 30 instructors in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. Purposive sampling ensures representation of individuals with experience in promoting self-directed learning. The case study analysis explores educational institutions that have successfully implemented self-directed learning initiatives and their impact on student outcomes. Findings indicate that goal-setting frameworks, project-based learning, and mentorship programs play crucial roles in nurturing self-directed learners in technical fields. Recommendations emphasize the integration of self-directed learning principles into curriculum design, support for instructor professional development, and creation of supportive learning environments to cultivate student autonomy and resilience.
