Abstract

Self-directed learning readiness (SDLR) is an individual readiness to learn independently. SDLR is needed to support the long-life learning process of medical students. Medical students participate in academic activities and non-academic activities such as student organizations. Students’ activities in organizations have a positive and negative impact on the time and priorities of their learning. The existence of this impact influences the student SDLR process. This study aimed to determine the effect of organizational activity on the level of SDLR of second-year medical students at the Sebelas Maret University. Data were collected through a student activity questionnaire and the Self-Directed Learning Readiness Scale-Nurse Education (SDLRS-NE). This study involved 72 s-year medical students as respondents who were selected based on a simple random sampling technique. Data were analyzed using the Spearman correlation test. The results showed that the correlation coefficient (r) = 0.298 and the significance value p = 0.011 (p < 0.05) on the effect of organizational activity on the SDLR level. The effect of organizational activity on SDLR components sequentially includes the desire to learn (r) = 0.475, self-control (r) = 0.388 and self-management (r) = 0.330. The positive correlation between organizational activity and SDLR components showed significant results between organizational activity and students' SDLR scores. This study indicates that there is a significant effect of organizational activity on the SDLR level of second-year medical students at Sebelas Maret University.
