Abstract:
This study aimed to evaluate levels of student self-directed learning readiness (SDLR) among undergraduate teacher education students in Vietnam. The study employed quantitative method by using a survey questionnaire developed basing on theory framework, results of interviews and discussions and adaptation items of the scales by Fisher et al (2001). The questionnaires were administered to 249 students who are studying at a teacher education program at a university in the north of Vietnam. The data was analyzed by SPSS 26.0 with descriptive statistics, and MANOVA in order to find out the level of SDLR and the influence of demographic variables. The results showed that students reported achieving a moderate level in two dimensions of self-directed learning readiness including confidence and independence in learning while the other dimensions were at a high level. The findings also revealed that different years of education possessed different degrees of self-directed learning readiness (attitude to learning, control in learning, confidence and independence in learning and self-concept in learning). The research would provide a springboard for future research to explore evaluating self-directed learning preparedness across majors so that awareness of this subject can be expanded. Furthermore, it could be added to the knowledge base to students themselves, teacher educators and curriculum designers in the context of Vietnam.
