The purpose of this study is to explore the effects of self-directed field learning practices on student’s academic achievement and self-directed learning characteristics regarding the level of learning ability. To conduct this study, 196 students of high school students in Busan were chosen and parted into either the experimental group (98 students) or control group (98 students). Each group is classified into three categories: high level (24 students), middle level (50 students), and low level (24 students) according to the level of learning ability by the academic achievement pre-test. The areas chosen for experimenting this study range from Dusong peninsula, Molundae in Saha-gu, Songdo in Seo-gu, Pusan. Then the inquiry-model of self-directed field learning which focuses on learner-centered activity was designed based on theories concerning field learning and self-directed learning, and was applied to the experimental group. In conclusion, this teaching method using self-directed field learning is expected to improve academic achievement in science subject and increase students’ self-directed learning characteristics regardless of the students' level of academic achievement.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the levels of academic stress, sociality, and self-directed learning in nursing students, and to examine the relationship between the variables. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire from 208 students in the first and second years of a nursing program. This study was performed from December 5 to December 10, 2015. The data were analyzed with SPSS WIN 18.0 software (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). The results were as follows. The mean score of academic stress was $3.20{\pm}0.53$, that of sociality was $2.91{\pm}0.25$, and that of self-directed learning was $3.33{\pm}0.33$. There was a negative correlation between academic stress and self-directed learning (r=-0.16, p=0.024) and a positive correlation between sociality and self-directed learning (r=0.17, p=0.015). Higher academic stress correlated with lower self-directed learning, while higher sociality correlated with higher self-directed learning. The results indicate that the levels of academic stress, sociality, and self-directed learning in nursing students can influence the quality of nursing education. Thus, there is a need to develop programs to reduce academic stress and to help improve sociality and self-directed learning for nursing students.

This study examined the impact of self-directed learning on job satisfaction, organizational commitment. Also, it verified moderating effects of organizational culture(centralization, decentralization) in the era of global competition. The results of this study are as followings: 1) self-directed learning(acceptance of responsibility for learning) is positively related to job satisfaction, organizational commitment, respectively. 2) centralization moderated on the relationship between self-directed learning(acceptance of responsibility for learning, self-confidence as a learner, future orientation) and organizational commitment. 3) decentralization moderated on the relationship between self-directed learning(future orientation) and organizational commitment. We discussed the implications of these of findings for both theory and practice.

The purpose of this study is, targeting 5th and 6th grades mathematically gifted elementary students, to analyze the effect of independent study project learning on self-directed learning ability and mathematical self-efficacy, and based on the results, examine the implications that independent study project learning has in special education for the gifted. In order to solve the study problems, 5th grade mathematically gifted elementary students(40) and 6th grade mathematically gifted elementary students(39) who had passed the selection criteria of D education institute for the gifted and had been receiving special education for the gifted were selected. The study results are as below. First, although self-directed learning ability had no significant difference at p<0.05, it statistically had some differences in averages between pre-test and post-test results. Second, although mathematical self-efficacy had no significant difference at p<0.05, it statistically had some differences in averages between pre-test and post-test results. Third, in the aspects of self-directed learning ability and mathematical self-efficacy, independent study project learning had a more positive effect on 5th grade mathematically gifted elementary students than 6th grade mathematically gifted elementary students. In addition, it had significant differences in 'the level of mathematical tasks', a sub-level of mathematical self-efficacy, and 'the openness of learning', 'the initiative of learning', and 'a sense of responsibility for learning', sub-levels of self-directed learning ability. These results imply that independent study project learning has a positive effect on self-directed learning ability and mathematical self-efficacy of mathematically gifted elementary students so that it could be meaningfully used as a teaching method for special education for the gifted at educational sites of independent study project learning.

This study is a descriptive research study to analyze the relationship between learning motivation, learning immersion, and self-directed learning. For this study, data were collected from August 1 to 30, 2021. The collected data were analyzed using the IBM SPSS/WIN 22.0 program. The learning motivation was positively correlated with learning immersion and self-directed learning. In analysis results, the factors affecting learning immersion are learning motivation and self-directed learning. And it was confirmed that self-direction was a partial mediating factor in the relationship between learning motivation and learning immersion. Learning motivation is an important factor for nursing students' learning immersion and self-directed learning. Therefore, specific measures to improve self-directed learning should be prepared for learning immersion. Therefore, nursing students' self-directed learning is an important factor for learning motivation and learning immersion, and specific measures to improve that should be prepared.

This study investigated the effects and development of instruction module using ICT on earth field at elementary school science. The effects by 5th graders appeared as follows; First. ICT-applied teaching method proved to enhance the science teaming achievement regardless of their grades compared to the ordinary one. Second, Instruction module using ICT devoted to improve 'self-directed learning characteristics' at all grades by comparition of the ordinary teaching method. The 5th graders showed the improvements in the fields of' openness', 'self-conception', 'initiative', 'future inclination', 'creativity', 'self-assessment ability' all of which belong to self-directed teaming characteristics. They did not, however, show meaningful effect on improving 'learning eagerness' and 'responsibility' improvement. Thirdly, ICT-applied teaching method proved that it is more effective for developing 'creativity' than the ordinary one at all sample grades. The effectiveness was presented highly at 'fluency', 'originality' all of which belong to creativity. They did not, however, show meaningful effect on improving 'flexibility'.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of action learning on the satisfaction of majors by cultivating task-solving ability through self-reflection in the form of team learning for a certain period of time in the form of team learning by using action learning for students taking convergence curriculum in universities. The subjects of the study were 40 students from the Department of Sports Rehabilitation, a convergence of the Department of Sports and Health Management and the Department of Physical Therapy located in Jeollanam-do. This was conducted to confirm the difference in the effect of satisfaction. Comparison of changes in groups of experimental groups with action learning teaching methods showed significant differences in self-directed learning skills, problem-solving skills, and major satisfaction(p<.001)(p<.05). A significant difference in self-directed learning ability, problem-solving ability, and major satisfaction was also shown in the comparison of changes in control groups that applied traditional teaching methods(p<.05). Comparison of changes between groups showed significant differences in self-directed learning skills, problem-solving skills and major satisfaction(p<.05). Applying the action learning teaching method to the level of students in the convergence course will improve self-directed learning skills, problem-solving skills, and major satisfaction, and further research will be needed to expand the target and add variables to combine qualitative research.
