The study group consisted of 30 volunteer high school students of Maung Chaingmai-district Non-formal and Informal education Center. Data analysis included  frequency, percentage, mean and  standard deviation.

          The findings were as follows 1) Learning activity for enhancing self-directed learning abilities for non-formal education student by using Khit-Pen process consisted of 5 learning plans : (1) Learning needs and Goals setting (2) Planning (3) Identifying learning resources (4) Acting (5) Evaluating and Reflecting . Every plans used Khit-Pen process as the learning process. 2) The result of the learning activity could be managed according to 5 learning plans. All students gained self-directed learning abilities. The students were assessed and showed learning results at the level of 70 percent or more. There were 17 students who were confident in self-directed learning at the highest level while 13 students were confident at the high level. In overall, the students were satisfied with the learning activity at high level. The learning result was useful for students to apply their knowledge to develop themselves to be a lifelong learners.
