Beyond Self-Directed Learning: The Role of Self-Regulated Learning in Nursing Education
Self-directed learning (SDL) in nursing education has limits. Self-regulated learning (SRL) offers strategies to improve student success and readiness for professional practice.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Learning Theories
Background:
- Self-directed learning (SDL) is common in nursing education but has limitations.
- Self-regulated learning (SRL) complements SDL by focusing on learner-managed strategies.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review theoretical distinctions between SDL and SRL.
- To examine SRL's potential to address SDL readiness challenges in nursing education.
Main Methods:
- Theoretical review of SDL and SRL.
- Analysis of their application and challenges in nursing education.
Main Results:
- SDL prioritizes autonomy; SRL emphasizes teachable strategies for cognition, motivation, and behavior.
- SRL provides a framework for academic success and enhanced SDL readiness.
Conclusions:
- Integrating SRL into nursing education aligns teaching with student needs.
- SRL supports lifelong learning skills and readiness for professional challenges.
