dc.description.abstract | Self-directed learning (SDL) solves learning challenges using various learning tools.
Nursing requires lifelong learning, and SDL is an important skill for practitioners to stay
current and effective. It is required of nursing students to embrace SDL and hone these
abilities. Nevertheless, there is no indication of this novel procedure in Lumajang. This
study aims to assess nursing students' preparation for SDL and its impact on learning
outcomes. This quasi-experimental study purposefully included 91 students who carry out
basic nursing clinical practice as participants. The instrument used in this study was the
Self-Directed Learning Readiness Scale (SDLRS) questionnaire developed by Fisher. The
results of this study showed that there was an increase in the SDLR level from 9 students
(9.9%) having a high SDLR level to 78 students (85.8%) and 82 students (90.1%) having a
moderate SDLR level to 13 students (14, 2%). The nursing students' average SDL
preparedness level has a substantial impact on learning outcomes. Nursing training
institutes should give the resources required to adopt SDL as a primary teaching technique
to ensure competent lifelong professionals. | en_US |
