Self-directed learning is an important skill highlighted in the 21st century learning. Hence, developing this skill through problem-based learning (PBL) is deemed to be potentially effective. However, PBL is still not widely implemented in Malaysian classrooms. The integration of face-to-face and online learning known as blended problem-based learning (BPBL) is potentially effective in improving PBL by enhancing teacher’s and students’ roles in self-directed learning. Thus, this research aims to investigate the roles of teacher and students in the process of self-directed learning (formulating learning issues) in BPBL by using basic qualitative approach. Data was collected from observations, interviews and documents (FILA chart). By using purposive sampling, twenty-five (25) students and a teacher from a school in Johor district were selected as the sample. The students were divided into five groups. The teacher and students’ roles in two randomly selected groups were compared. The results indicated that the teacher faced difficulties in monitoring students’ progress and some students were passive in the BPBL.

<p>This paper aims to describe some issues surrounding the development of a VLE for the blended teaching of medical Spanish via a problem-based learning (PBL) methodology which has its foundations on constructivism, self-directed learning and collaboration. Firstly, the main purpose, features and stages of this instructional method are discussed together with some recommendations for its implementation in the specialist language class. Then some examples of useful e-tools and resources for blended PBL and/or e-PBL are presented. Finally, the components of the medical Spanish VLE are described in a flexible framework that integrates language and content based knowledge with a view to support and complement face-to-face tuition and provide multiple opportunities for interactive practice and feedback in preparation for effective target language communication in the students' professional future.</p>

Learning in the 21st century no longer ends with K-12 and college preparation. Instead, for those adults who will succeed in negotiating the demands of the 21st century, it must continue across their lifetime. More than merely a focus on lifelong learning, however, this chapter illuminates the specific needs and skills of lifelong learning integrated with life and work in the 21st century. The discussion of modern skills includes scope, definitions, issues and trends, current and emerging practices, recommended strategies, and a glimpse of the future. The cornerstones of this discussion include approaches to learning such as lifelong learning, self-directed learning, 21st learning skills, information literacy, collaborative, situated, and problem based learning.

University learning can be either teacher centered or student centered. Problem-based self-directed learning in the context of small groups provides students with an opportunity to take greater responsibility for their own learning. In problem-based learning, process and content are inextricably linked, with the three cardinal elements being the students, the tutors, and the problems. The design of such an undergraduate course in pharmacology is described, and the implications for teaching physiology are discussed.

In order to prevent transmission of Covid-19, the government and universities agreed to temporarily stop face-to-face lectures and replace them with distance learning in the form of online lectures. Even so, the implementation of distance learning in the form of online lectures has different characteristics from face-to-face lectures, because the role of students in online learning is far greater than the role of students in face-to-face lectures so that they require self-directed learning readiness from students so that distance learning is done can be effective. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct research on students' self-directed learning readiness in attending online lectures during the Covid-19 pandemic. The research method used in this study is a survey, a survey conducted on 78 students. The results showed that students 'self-directed learning readiness was still at a moderate stage, so it was necessary to make an effort to identify students' self-directed learning needs and to arrange a more complete online learning schedule. Abstrak Dalam rangka mencegah penularan Covid-19, pemerintah dan perguruan tinggi sepakat untuk menghentikan sementara waktu perkuliahan tatap muka dan menggantinya dengan pendidikan jarak jauh dalam bentuk perkuliahan daring. Meskipun demikian, pelaksanaan pendidikan jarak jauh dalam bentuk perkuliahan daring ini, memiliki karakteristik yang berbeda dengan perkuliahan tatap muka, karena peran mahasiswa dalam pembelajaran daring jauh lebih besar dibandingkan peran mahasiswa dalam perkuliahan tatap muka sehingga memerlukan self-directed learning readiness dari maha-siswa agar pendidikan jarak jauh yang dilakukan dapat efektif. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan penelitian terhadap self-directed learning readiness mahasiswa dalam mengikuti perkuliahan daring di masa pandemi Covid-19 ini. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu survey yang dilakukan kepada 78 orang mahasiswa Sekolah Tinggi Teologi Cipanas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa self-directed learning readiness mahasiswa masih berada pada tahap sedang, sehingga perlu dilakukan usaha untuk mengindentifikasi kebutuhan belajar mandiri mahasiswa dan menyusun jadwal pembelajaran daring yang lebih lengkap.

<p class="Abstract">This article reports on findings from a comparative study on firefighter students' learning processes in a technology-supported distance training course and a traditional campus training course in Sweden. Based on student interviews and observations of exercises, the article aims to describe and analyse the impact on learning processes when exercise-oriented teaching takes place in a technology-supported learning environment instead of face to face on campus. Drawing on the concept of contradiction in activity theory, the findings indicate that distance students encounter several dilemmas and conflicts related to low instructor presence, ambiguities regarding learning requirements and division of labor, as well as shortcomings in the technologies offered. However, the distance students tend to develop strategies for dealing with these contradictions, resulting in the development of self-directed learning and more learner-centered approaches, while the campus students rely to a greater extent on traditional, instructor-centered teaching. During the 2-year training course, however, it appears the established norms and conventions of teaching and learning which characterise the campus mode, counteract changes in the distance mode. The technology-supported learning process with its focus on exercise preparation is thus gradually normalised in the direction of the campus mode, and its face -to-face, instructor-led and exercise-oriented learning process.</p>
