dc.description.abstractKenya’s education system is based on a curriculum put together by persons outside of students who learn. This system of learning is uniform for all students regardless of their interests, gifts or socio-economic backgrounds. Communication in learning is mostly linear where learners are expected to retain what they are taught so as to pass exams. The purpose of this study was to comprehend the role of participatory communication in the self-directed learning process in President’s Award Kenya. The objectives of the study were: to find out the role of participatory communication in the process of self-directed learning in the President’s Award- Kenya, to understand the relationship between self-directed learning and the achievement of learning outcomes in President’s Award- Kenya and to establish whether self-directed learning leads to more interest and retention of knowledge and skill in learners in the President’s Award-Kenya Program. This study used a mixed method approach to collect both qualitative and quantitative data. The findings showed that learners in President’s Award Kenya actively participated in their own development by making decisions on what they learnt and how they learnt. The use of dialogue between all the stakeholders in the process of education ensured that learners’ education needs were met. Self-directed learning in President’s Award Kenya led to confidence in learners and achievement of learning goals. The study recommends that stakeholders in education should involve learners in contributing to their education so as to empower and prepare learners to develop the skills necessary to be effective members of society.
