After summarizing the principal ideas and prescriptions in the preceding article, suggestions are made for further explicating and developing the issues. Two areas needing additional specification are identified. It is suggested that a model of self‐learning also incorporate substantive issues pertaining to learners as their own training designers and to the interaction of ability and motivational dispositions with instruction in self‐learning. Finally, the critical role of self‐learning in helping to meet the enormous training needs of the next two or three decades is stated in emphatic terms.
