A Shift from Training to Learning: Self-Directed Learning for the Malaysian Hotel Industry

With the emphasis on self-directed learning (SDL) and learner-controlled instruction (LCI) the author looks into the mechanism that has made several business and industrial sectors in the Western world progress significantly in the training and development field. The achievement of this strategy as compared to the traditional training of time-based rotation has made several organizations follow the footsteps of the pioneers. The article draws on a range of application of self-directed learning and learner-controlled instruction practiced in the hospitality and foodservice industry from the 70s to the 90s. Based on the adoption of Self-Directed Learning (SDL) or Learner-Controlled Instruction (LCI) in business and industrial sectors overseas, will there be a future for SDL or LCI in the Malaysian Hospitality Industry?
