Studying the relationship between self-directed learning and academic achievement of undergraduate students at Nong Lam University Ho Chi Minh City
Nội dung chính của bài viết
Tóm tắt
This study investigates the relationship between self-directed learning (SDL) skills and academic achievement among undergraduate students at Nong Lam University, Ho Chi Minh City. The Self-Directed Learning Skills Scale (SDLSS) and cumulative GPA (CGPA) are used in this study to evaluate academic performance and SDL skills in a sample of 8,472 students. The findings indicate a significant correlation between academic success and SDL competencies, especially in areas like analyzing learning outcomes and processes. However, variations in SDL scores among different performance groups suggest the influence of additional factors, such as individual characteristics and external contexts, on academic outcomes. The findings highlight how crucial it is to develop SDL abilities for improvement on learning outcomes and efficiency. Furthermore, the study promotes a holistic approach to assessing academic achievement that takes into account more extensive learning aspects in addition to conventional GPA measurements. These insights provide valuable implications for educators and policymakers aiming to support student development in higher education.
