Short description:\u00a0The SDLRS was first published in 1978 by Guglielmino. It is a 58 item, five point Likert scale instrument that measures a total score for self-directed learning readiness. Delahaye and Choy (2000) confirm the internal consistency and test-retest reliability values, as well as content, construct and criterion-related validity. Guglielmino (1978) identified eleven characteristics of self-directed learners including initiative, independence, persistence, responsibility, self-discipline, curiosity, desire (to learn or change), basic skills (study and organizational), pacing\/completion, joy of learning, and goal orientation.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Sample questions:<\/b><\/p>\n

Instructions:<\/b> This is a questionnaire designed to gather data on learning preferences and attitudes towards learning. After reading each item, please indicate the degree to which you feel that statement is true of you. There are no right or wrong answers. Please read each choice carefully and choose the response which best expresses your feeling.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

There is no time limit for the questionnaire. Try not to spend too much time on any one item; however, your first reaction to the question will usually be the most accurate.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Responses<\/b><\/p>\n

1 = Almost never true of me; I hardly ever feel this way.<\/b><\/p>\n

2 = Not often true of me; I feel this way less than half the time.<\/b><\/p>\n

3 = Sometimes true of me; I feel this way about half the time.<\/b><\/p>\n

4 = Usually true of me; I feel this way more than half the time.<\/b><\/p>\n
