Abstract: Abstract Increasing attention has been given to development of abilities in self-directed learning, especially over the last 10 years. Self-directed learning is valuable to learners because it is believed to enhance creativity, help avoid blind acceptance of existing knowledge, and help learners adapt to a rapidly-changing environment. Self-directed learning readiness was defined as the degree an individual possesses in attitude, ability and personality characteristics necessary for self-directed learning. A study with 34 students was carried out. The research data is collected from questionnaires and focus group interviews. Research will emphasis on the correlation between students' SDLRS and their respective attitudes toward three pedagogical approaches namely expository, inductive and task-based approach. The result indicated that students with higher readiness of self-directed learning will prefer a more "self-directedness" pedagogical approach, while students with a low degree of self-directed learning readiness will prefer a less "self-directedness" approach. It was concluded that teachers should adapt their teaching styles to match students' readiness of self direction and to increase students' self-directedness. Problems occur when dependent learners are mismatched with non-directive teachers and when self-directed learners are mismatched with highly directive teachers.DOI: 10.5353/th_b3040289 Subjects: Self-culture - China - Hong KongHigh school students - China - Hong KongComputer-assisted instruction - China - Hong KongWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
