Abstract

Self-Directed Learning Readiness (SDLR) is critical in structured oral case analysis (SOCA). Accordingly, examining the correlation between students’ SDLR and SOCA test scores is necessary to identify the required support for students learning in a problem-based learning environment. This cross-sectional study was conducted using a total sample of students in semester 1. It used the Indonesian language SDLR questionnaire. Univariate analysis was used to assess the SDLR scores. Bivariate analysis was conducted to identify the correlation between the SDLR and SOCA scores. A total of 122 students (response rate 96.82%) participated in the study. The mean for the SDLR score was 133.57 (95–168), which was regarded as a high SDL level. Most (55%) students had a high SDLR score. The mean for the SOCA test score was 42.79 (11.00–79.00). The correlation between SDLR and SOCA test scores reached a correlation coefficient (r) = 0.037, with a p-value of 0.686. In the desire to learn construct, most students could learn from mistakes in the learning process but were less able to evaluate new ideas critically. In the self-control construct, most students could realize their limitations and tended to lack confidence in their abilities. In the self-management construct, it can be concluded that most students could determine work priorities, but were less able to manage their time well. There was no significant correlation between SDLR and SOCA test scores of the semester 1 students. The institution should facilitate students to increase their self-efficacy and practice critical thinking and time management.
