Abstract
Self-directed learning has proven to be advantageous for the students to conduct lifelong, satisfactory and independent learning while, problem-based learning is a constructive learning approach by enabling students to find solutions for the complex real-world problems. Aim: The current study aimed to determine the relation between self-directed learning readiness and problem-based learning approach as perceived by nursing students. Design: A descriptive correlational research design was utilized. Sample: All nursing students (371) enrolled in the studying in the second semester at all levels in the academic year 2017-2018. Setting: The current study was conducted at at the faculty of nursing in port-said university. Tools of data collection: Self-administered questionnaires \ scales were used to assess self rating, self regulation, self-directed learning readiness, and the problem-based learning approach as perceived by nursing students. Results: Students had moderate level of self-rating of self-directed learning, self-directed learning readiness, and low level of self-regulation (57.1%, 60.6%, 56.4% respectively) While, 50.4% of students obtained low perception of problem-based learning approach. Conclusion: There was highly statistically significant a positive correlation (P≤0.001) between students’ perception toward problem-based learning approach, self-rating of self-directed learning, self-regulation, and self-directed learning readiness. Recommendations: Developing the learning environment and extending it with providing requirements needed for implementing the PBL approach to empower students to perceive and adapt with PBL approach.
