Abstract

Introduction: Self-directed learning is vital for professional development of NURSING and MIDWIFERY female students. It enables these students to enhance their professional performance quality. The existence of a valid instrument seems necessary for assessing self-directedness of learning and determining effectiveness of teaching and learning methods. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to determine psychometric properties of the Self-Directed Learning Readiness Scale (SDLRS) developed by Cheng et al. (2010) in NURSING and MIDWIFERY female students.Methods: In the present cross-sectional/psychometric study, from among 1135 NURSING and MIDWIFERY female students at the Islamic Azad University, Isfahan (Khorasgan) Branch and Isfahan University of Medical Sciences (Faculty of NURSING and MIDWIFERY), who were in their pre-internship period in academic year 2014 to 2105, 378 students were selected via the random sampling method. Then, they completed the SDLRS containing 20 items and 4 sub-scales. The raw data were entered in the SPSS-24 and LISREL-8.75 software programs and analyzed via descriptive and inferential statistical tests, such as Cronbach's alpha coefficient, Spearman–Brown prediction formula, Gottman Method, and Confirmatory FACTOR ANALYSIS (CFA).Results: In the framework of construct VALIDITY assessment and using a Confirmatory FACTOR ANALYSIS (CFA), the 20-item SDLRS in 4 factors were analyzed using Cronbach’s Alpha of learning motivation 0.83, planning and implementation 0.84, self-regulation 0.81, and interpersonal relationship 0.60 with reference to goodness-of-fit indices RMSE=0.057, GFI=0.91, and CFI=0.98. The results indicated that all four factors of this scale had high internal consistency coefficients.Conclusions: the results indicate that the SDLRS (Cheng et al.2010) is a valid and reliable instrument for identifying SELF-DIRECTED LEANING capabilities in NURSING and MIDWIFERY female students.
