title: Contract learning.
abstract: The learning contract format can be used to provide a learning situation that encourages individuality, flexibility, and mutuality. General components of the learning contract are formats, roles, climate setting, goal setting, resources, timing, and evaluation. Suggestions are made for applying the learning contract to self-directed continuing education for physical therapist educators, clinical physical therapists, and individual physical therapists.
