How can a conversational personal contract improve self-directed learning?
Very shallow, but it makes you more committed :) Somehow you have promised these things for real, you have it "on paper", you need to have good reasons to slip. Well, at least this is how I feel it.
Web 2.0 has provided us some social spaces which include self-manageable tools, learning at personal spaces, continuous invasion to new spaces, distributing one’s personality between spaces, community as an identity and publishing artifacts to define communities and ourselves. Because of these we need self-direction and self-management.
A personal contract is a tool to this, with it you can make decisions and manage yourself. A conversational contract means that you update the contract, especially according to facilitators comments. It helps to sustain self-conversation with oneself about learning, it also externalizes learning conversation for the learner, passes the control back to the learner.
