Self-directed learning (SDL) is an essential element in medical education to foster lifelong learning. Self-directed learning readiness is the extent to which an individual has the attitude, ability, skill and personality characteristics essential for SDL. This study aimed to analyze self-directed learning readiness among physiotherapy students. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 288 undergraduate physiotherapy students using Self-Rating Scale of Self-Directed Learning (SRSSDL) to assess self-directed learning readiness. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software version 21. Statistical significance was set at P<0.05. A total 288 participants, 143(49.65%) were in preclinical phase and 145 (50.35%) in clinical phase. Out of 288 physiotherapy students, 60.76% students had moderate level, followed by 37.5% with high level and 1.74% with low level of SDL readiness. The total SRSSDL score was higher in clinical students as compared to preclinical students using independent t test (p=0.000). Also, subscale scores of SRSSDL, awareness (p=0.000), learning strategies (p=0.000), learning activities (p=0.000), evaluation (p=0.000) and interpersonal skills (p=0.04) were higher in clinical students as compared to preclinical students using independent t test. The study showed that physiotherapy students had moderate level of SDL readiness. The SDL readiness was found to be higher in clinical students as compared to preclinical. It will assist the medical educators to incorporate more active learning strategies to enhance SDL skills and help in curriculum development. Keywords: Self-directed learning, physical therapists, medical education, students.

Recruitment System

Background: Indonesia medical education recruitment system recruits students directly from high school who had been influenced by mostly teacher centered learning. As part of pedagogical approach in higher education, those students will be obligatory to learn independently and effectively. Self-directed learning (SDL) is an important aspect in latest medical educational evidence which would determine students’ successfulness in learning. Self-directed learning readiness (SDLRS) is influenced by several factors including motivation, age, culture, and previous education experience. Today, the admission process in Indonesia is based on knowledge-test based only. This study aims to reveal correlation between several factors which influence students’ Self Directed Learning Readiness (SDLRS).Methods: This study used SDLRS questionnaire as a valid and reliable toll to measure the students’ self directed learning readiness and correlate with those several factors.Result: From 540 distributed questionnaires, 412 questionnaires returned back. The Spearman correlation showed significant ratio between students SDLRS score and students’ motivation. While, the analysis on age showed that age of 20 has significant ratio with students’ SDLRS score.Conclusion: among age, previous education experience, and culture; students’ internal motivation  should be considered as important factor for students’ SDLRS which will determine their successfulness in learning in medical education. These factors should be regarded as one requirement of students’ admission in medical education.
