This paper reports on a pilot study of theassessment of CEAB (Canadian EngineeringAccreditation Board) graduate attribute 3.1.12 “life-longlearning” in a first year design course. We proposeequating life-long learning with self-directed learning,and use the Self-Directed Learning Readiness Scale(SDLRS) developed by Guglielmino. The results of oursurvey show our first year students’ readiness for selfdirectedlearning is very consistent with the adult averagereported by Guglielmino and that the SDLRS instrumentappears to be a good choice for the assessment of lifelonglearning.

Background: The study explores the factors that affecting the readiness to (self-directed learning readiness) in the context of PBL is still rare, especially when in fact unprepared students in the initiative and the desire for self-learning, a lack of understanding of students on independent learning and interpretation mischaracterized the self-learning (self directed learning) is still frequently encountered. This study aimed to measure simultaneously identify factors that influence student SDLR in the first, second and third at the Medical Faculty of Hasanuddin University.Method: through two stages (sequencing), which combines two research approaches, namely qualitative as the main approach (dominant) and quantitative approaches as facilitators (less dominant). data collection with questionnaires and focus group discussions. The number of subjects quantitative 399 people (143 people from the first year, 152 the second year and 104 people from the third year), while for FGD about 18 people who set out with purposive sampling. Distributing questionnaires carried out in advance to obtain SDLR categories of high, medium and low, followed by FGD each batch by category SDLRnya. The analysis starts with the transcription process then the coding process.Results: This study shows that the average score lowest SDLR owned by First-year students FK UNHAS while the highest SDLR owned by Second year students. Not found SDLR category lower because students have had plenty of experience of active and independent learning that develops steadily. There are several factors that affect SDLR construct the desire to learn, self-control and self-management.Conclusion: Factors that affect SDLR the first year students, second and third in the FK Unhas divided into two, namely: (1) internal factors which consist of physical health, the availability of leisure time, hobby or avocation, self maturity, and intelligence; (2) external factors which consists of the support of family and friends, faculty facilities, problems, relationships between peers, and the influence of parents and friends

Abstract: The concept of self-directed learning (SDL) develops rapidly in distance education. This independent learning can be assessed by measuring the score of self-directed learning readiness (SDLR). The Medical Undergraduate Program of Faculty of Medicine Sam Ratulangi University uses the problem based learning (PBL) method which requires students to be able to study independently. The SDLR score of students is very important in the first year of study, therefore, the students will be evaluated by the institution immediately, as well as encouraging them to adapt the independent learning method. This study was aimed to obtain the description of SDLR score in the first-year students of Medical Undergraduate Program of Faculty of Medicine, Sam Ratulangi University. This was a descriptive study with a cross sectional design. The study was conducted on the first year students by using the SDLR questionnaire of Fisher modified by Nyambe. The results showed that a total of 109 students (69.87%) had high SDLR score, 44 students (28.2%) had moderate score, and three students (1.92%) had low score. In conclusion, most of the first year students of Medical Undergraduate Program Faculty of Medicine, Sam Ratulangi University had high SDLR scores.Keywords: self directed learning readiness (SDLR); medical education                                                   Abstrak: Konsep belajar mandiri atau self directed learning (SDL) berkembang pesat pada pendidikan jarak jauh. Pembelajaran mandiri ini dapat dinilai dengan mengukur skor self directed learning readiness (SDLR). Program Studi Pendidikan Dokter (PSPD) Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Sam Ratulangi menggunakan metode problem based learning (PBL) yang menuntut mahasiswa untuk dapat belajar mandiri. Skor SDLR dari mahasiswa sangat penting pada tahun pertama pendidikan agar dapat segera dievaluasi oleh institusi dan untuk mendorong mahasiswa agar dapat menyesuaikan dengan metode belajar mandiri. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran SDLR pada mahasiswa tingkat pertama Program Studi Pendidikan Dokter (PSPD) di Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Sam Ratulangi.  Jenis penelitian ialah deskritif dengan desain potong lintang. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada mahasiswa tingkat pertama dengan meng-gunakan kuesioner SDLR dari Fisher yang dimodifikasi oleh Nyambe. Hasil penelitian mendapat-kan 109 mahasiswa (69,87%) mempunyai skor SDLR tinggi, 44 mahasiswa (28,2%) dengan skor sedang, dan 3 mahasiswa (1,92%) skor rendah.  Simpulan penelitian ini ialah sebagian besar mahasiswa tingkat pertama PSPD Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Sam Ratulangi mempunyai skor SDLR tinggi.Kata kunci: self directed learning readiness (SDLR); pendidikan kedokteran

The fast transition to fully online studies due to the pandemic made the universities around the world question many of their accepted notions on teaching foreign languages in general and English for Specific Purposes (ESP) methodology in particular. Putting stress on the synchronous remote teaching and learning has proven to yield a reductionist perspective missing asynchronicity, the dimension which makes reconsider the whole educational process. With its shift from the sole focus on learning terminology to training skills in authentic professional contexts, the task-based approach has long excelled in meeting the diverse needs of students. Thus, the research question is how well task-based teaching (TBT) solves the problems raised with asynchronous learning in a university ESP course. The research of available literature on TBT yielded the framework for constructing an extended task applicable in the advanced medical English. The case study with 120 first-year students of medicine organised around an informational interview with health professionals demonstrated easy adaptability of the task to the asynchronous nature of the educational process. Personal observations by the course instructor, summaries of student-conducted interviews, and student written feedback proved the responsiveness of the method to the learners’ needs and the potential of the approach in terms of motivation. The emphasis on self-directed learning, however, threatens the systematicity of the acquired language skills, as a more controlled teaching environment would not allow “skipping” any learning step. Additionally, TBT does not solve the problem of the voluminous teaching load.

Background: Medical student need to develop self-directed learning skills in order to promote life-long learning skill which important for medical professionality.  Rate of progression and innovation in science along with future medical world challenge incresingly strengthen self-directed learning and life-long learning as something that need to be noted.  The importance of SDL can be discerned   when American Board of Medical Specialties and World Federation for Medical Education put it as something that need to be evaluate in medical student during their time of study. The aims of this study is to gain explanation about self-directed learning implementation through PBL system and self-directed learning readiness in medical institutions in Asia.Method: This study is a literature review, that is a study been held by searching, collect, analyze and summarize a number of articles concerning  self-directed learning implementation through problem-based learning to medical students in Asia.Results: Self-directed learning readiness medical students in Asia is found inferior, especially in first year students. In addition, self-directed learning implementation for Asian context, found  that influence of lecturer exceedingly intense, where the right insight of self-directed learning will have an impact to succeed it implementation. Moreover, self-directed learning acquaintance have to be accompanied with accurate human resources management as well as support of facility and infrastructure, where the successfulness of self-directed learning implementation required entailment  and commitment of all party.
