    CHAPTER # 1

    Introduction

    1.1 Statement of problem:

    Learning is a Behavioral modification especially through experience or

    conditioning. Learning is how you acquire new information about the world,

    and memory is how you store that information over time. There is no

    memory without learning, but there is learning without memory1.

    "The task of the excellent teacher is to stimulate apparently ordinary people

    to unusual effort. The tough problem is not in identifying winners: it is in

    making winners out of ordinary people" (K. Patricia Cross).

    This quotation shows a great significance of teaching and the true role of a

    teacher. Teaching is not merely to reform students or to make them expert

    technicians, it is to widen their horizon; inflame their intellects; and teach

    them to be self directed. Therefore teaching in any discipline and

    particularly in nursing, should always strive to move beyond simply

    divulging of facts and knowledge or even training of certain skills. Instead,

    teachers have the broad responsibility of serving as guide and mentor on an

    intellectual journey, opening and broadening curious minds by exposing

    students to creative thoughts and ideas. This manuscript was prepared after

    observing a class of nursing students, conducted by one of the authors, as a

    reflective process of faculty in order to portray learning experiences for

    better teaching methods 5.

    The concept of teaching is changing drastically in recent times. The

    boundaries of knowledge are no longer restricted to textbooks and lectures.

    The student of today has access to journals, Internet resources, educational

    videos, online conferencing and much more. The basic concept of teaching

    1

    2/29

    is shifting from uni-directional flow of knowledge as in lecturing to more

    interactive Teaching Learning sessions. One to one approach, problem based

    learning (small group learning), online learning are few of the popular

    options 2.

    Self directed learning has been described as a process in which individuals

    take the initiative, with or without the help of others, to diagnose their

    learning needs, formulate learning goals identify resources for learning,

    select and implement learning strategies and evaluate learning outcomes.

    An education design in which at their own pace, without the aid of an

    instructor. It will work well for some educational needs and not well for

    others and proved great opportunity for individual learning.

    The death kneels for programmed instructions founded in the late 1960s with

    push towards.

    According to research students have no awareness about self directed

    learning in Pakistan because in basic schools mostly traditional way of

    teaching are used so in this setting the students can not express their

    abilities. How to assess your need for self directed learning in educational

    environment. The aim of study is to explore the meaning variation

    perceptual experience of phenomenon of self directed learning from the

    perspective of the student and investigate factors that facilitate or impede

    self directed learning3.

    Self directed learning is the descriptive model of the life long learning based

    entirely on the focus of control for decision making about the objectives and

    means of learning.

    As a student, getting rapped on the knuckles on a wintry morning because

    you did not form a letter correctly was a routine practice of the teachers at

    the school which I attended. The teacher entered the room, expecting the

    2

  • 8/8/2019 36537913 Self Directed Learning is Effective Then Lecture Method of Learning

    3/29

    students to copy pages of notes from the chalkboard. The student who

    reproduced these without missing a single punctuation mark, spelling

    mistake and perfect handwriting got full marks.

    In the past forty years not much has changed in the practices of teaching &

    learning in Pakistan. The tendency to teach by the method of Repetition -

    Conditioning - stimulus-response Pavlovian and operant conditioning &

    shaping behavior Skinner - the leading proponents of the Behaviorist styles

    of teaching continue.

    Having no pedagogy which is the art (Art refers to a diverse range of human

    activities and artifacts )or science an effort to discover, understand, or to

    understand better, how the physical world work - Pedagogy generally refers

    to strategies of instruction, or a style of instruction, also sometimes referred

    to as the correct use of teaching strategies) along with lack of any serious

    study of theories and practices in education around the world and virtual

    absence of teacher professional development programs are some of the

    causes of the decline in teaching & learning in the schools in Pakistan4.

    There is more than one type of learning. A committee of colleges, led by

    Benjamin Bloom, identified three domains of educational activities. The

    three domains are cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. Since the work was

    produced by higher education, the words tend to be a little bigger than we

    are normally used to. Domains can be thought of as categories. Cognitive is

    for mental skills (Knowledge), affective is for growth in feelings or

    emotional areas (Attitude), while psychomotor is for manual or physical

    skills (Skills). Trainers often refer to these as KAS, SKA, or KSA

    (Knowledge, Attitude, and Skills). This taxonomy of learning behaviors can

    be thought of as "the goals of the training process." That is, after the training

    session, the learner should have acquires these new skills, knowledge, or

    3

  • 8/8/2019 36537913 Self Directed Learning is Effective Then Lecture Method of Learning

    4/29

    attitudes. The committee then produced an elaborate compilation for the

    cognitive and affective domains, but none for the psychomotor domain.

    Their explanation for this oversight was that they have little experience in

    teaching manual skills within the college level (I guess they never thought to

    check with their sports or drama department). This compilation divides the

    three domains into subdivisions, starting from the simplest behavior to the

    most complex. The divisions outlined are not absolutes and there are other

    systems or hierarchies that have been devised in the educational and training

    world. However, Bloom's taxonomy is easily understood and is probably the

    most widely applied one in use today. Cognitive: The cognitive domain

    involves knowledge and the development of intellectual skills. This includes

    the recall or recognition of specific facts, procedural patterns, and concepts

    that serve in the development of intellectual abilities and skills. There are six

    major categories, which are listed in order below, starting from the simplest

    behavior to the most complex. The categories can be thought of as degrees

    of difficulties. That is, the first one must be mastered before the next one can

    take place. Knowledge: Recall data or information. Comprehension:

    Understand the meaning, translation, interpolation, and interpretation of

    instructions and problems. State a problem in one's own words. Application:

    Use a concept in a new situation or unprompted use of an abstraction.

    Applies what was learned in the classroom into novel situations in the work

    place. Analysis: Separates material or concepts into component parts so that

    its organizational structure may be understood. Distinguishes between facts

    and inferences. Synthesis: Builds a structure or pattern from diverse

    elements. Put parts together to form a whole, with emphasis on creating a

    new meaning or structure. Evaluation: Make judgments about the value of

    ideas or materials3.

    Affective Domain: The affective domain (Krathwohl, Bloom, Masia, 1973)

    includes the manner in which we deal with things emotionally, such as

    feelings, values, appreciation, enthusiasms, motivations, and attitudes. The

    five major categories are listed from the simplest behavior to the most

    complex: Receiving Phenomena: Awareness, willingness to hear, selected

    attention. Responding to Phenomena: Active participation on the part of the

    learners. Attends and reacts to a particular phenomenon. Learning outcomes

    may emphasize compliance in responding, willingness to respond, or

    satisfaction in responding (motivation). Valuing: The worth or value a

    person attaches to a particular object, phenomenon, or behavior. This ranges

    from simple acceptance to the more complex state of commitment. Valuing

    is based on the internalization of a set of specified values, while clues to

    these values are expressed in the learner's overt behavior and are often

    identifiable. Organization: Organizes values into priorities by contrasting

    different values, resolving conflicts between them, and creating a unique

    value system. The emphasis is on comparing, relating, and synthesizing

    values. Internalizing values (characterization): Has a value system that

    controls their behavior. The behavior is pervasive, consistent, predictable,

    and most importantly, characteristic of the learner. Instructional objectives

    are concerned with the student's general patterns of adjustment (personal,

    social, emotional). Psychomotor Domain: The psychomotor domain

    (Simpson, 1972) includes physical movement, coordination, and use of the

    motor-skill areas. Development of these skills requires practice and is

    measured in terms of speed, precision, distance, procedures, or techniques in

    execution. The seven major categories are listed from the simplest behavior

    to the most complex: Perception: The ability to use sensory cues to guide

    motor activity. This ranges from sensory stimulation, through cue selection,

    5

  • 8/8/2019 36537913 Self Directed Learning is Effective Then Lecture Method of Learning

    6/29

    to translation. Set: Readiness to act. It includes mental, physical, and

    emotional sets. These three sets are dispositions that predetermine a person's

    response to different situations (sometimes called mindsets).Guided

    Response: The early stages in learning a complex skill that includes

    imitation and trial and error. Adequacy of performance is achieved by

    practicing. Mechanism: This is the intermediate stage in learning a complex

    skill. Learned responses have become habitual and the movements can be

    performed with some confidence and proficiency. Complex Overt Response:

    The skillful performance of motor acts that involve complex movement

    patterns. Proficiency is indicated by a quick, accurate, and highly

    coordinated performance, requiring a minimum of energy. This category

    includes performing without hesitation, and automatic performance. For

    example, players are often utter sounds of satisfaction or expletives as soon

    as they hit a tennis ball or throw a football, because they can tell by the feel

    of the act what the result will produce. Adaptation: Skills are well developed

    and the individual can modify movement patterns to fit special requirements.

    Origination: Creating new movement patterns to fit a particular situation or

    specific problem. Learning outcomes emphasize creativity based upon

    highly developed skills3.

    1.2 Significance of the Study:

    Self directed learning strategies are helpful to restore & memorize

    knowledge effectively. By this study students will be encouraged to achieve

    more knowledge by using this method than lecture method of learning. This

    method of study will make students more active than other teaching

    methodologies. In addition to this above mentioned teaching strategy will

    stimulate students own ideas and own thoughts for learning.

    6

    7/29

    The activities used in the self directed learning method develops intrinsic

    motivation to learn for learners. It also develops creativity, self efficacy,

    helpful for examination, to achieve complex goals by critical thinking &

    reasoning strategies.

    By using this methodology learners become more knowledgeable material

    for longer duration of the time.

    It is also best for life long learning.

    1.3 Hypothesis:

    1. The self directed teaching learning method is more effective than

    lecture method of learning.

    1.4 Objectives:

    The purpose of this study is to investigate that the self directed

    learning method is more effective than lecture method of learning.

    To determine the students get best results in the examinations by

    using this method.

    CHAPTER # 2

    Literature Review

    2.1 Literature Review

    Self directed learning has received much attention as there are numerous

    articles. Knowles 1975 describe how various under graduate programs

    educating health care professionals gave incorporated self directed learning.

    Report on the extensive research conducted to identify student readiness for

    self directed learning (crook, 1985). The literature is typically favorable and

    there is much support self directed learning as a method of learning among

    adults in under graduate, graduate and continuing education programs. The

    literature several models that attempt to describe the phases of the self

    directed learning process. While some of these models are anecdotal.

    (Bound 1981, Entwistle and Ramsden1983) and based on inferences made

    from observation7.

    The purpose of Taylors study was to identify, form the learners

    perspective, common pattern, in experience of learning namely

    disorientation, exploration, reorientation and equilibrium with four phase

    transition points. Taylor (1986) states that the learning process begins with

    the collapse of the learners frame of references or assumptive world as an

    adequate means of understanding his / her experience. This collapse marks

    the beginning of the learners reorientation in their assumption and

    expectations about teaching and learning6.

    The Normative Model of Physical Therapist Professional Education,

    Version13 (the Normative Model) states that the practice of physical therapy

    involves complex cognitive processes. Several authors of educational texts

    have argued that lecturing is inappropriate for the presentation of complex,

    8

  • 8/8/2019 36537913 Self Directed Learning is Effective Then Lecture Method of Learning

    9/29

    detailed, or abstract material and when that material must be understood at

    higher cognitive levels. Research data supporting this contention, however,

    are lacking. The Normative Model states that physical therapist professional

    education curricula should be designed to foster active, self-directed

    learning, but it does not specify a method to be used or an underlying

    philosophy for clinicians8.

    Active learning methods are supposed to leave students with a greater level

    of knowledge and better learning skills compared with students exposed to

    other forms of learning. Whether they do in all courses, however, awaits

    further research. A commonly studied form of active learning is the small-

    group discussion. Greater learning in small discussion groups has been

    shown in engineering courses, physiological psychology courses, and

    anatomy courses. Some investigators have reported that students working in

    groups were more likely to be able to generalize from specific observations,

    were superior at applying concepts to new situations, and had a greater

    ability to critically analyze what they read and synthesize information from a

    variety of sources. Students working in groups also appeared to have

    increases in the attributes of self-directed learning and in obtaining relevant

    help for facilitating learning when compared with students in lecture-only

    courses. More recently, no difference has been reported in scores on

    multiple-choice or essay examinations between courses with combined

    active learning and lecture methods and those courses with only lectures.

    Students who had taken the combined lecture and discussion courses,

    however, were described by instructors in more advanced courses to be more

    aggressive learners who would ask and answer more questions in class

    discussion11.

    According to Farrah (1990) the lecture format is one of the most frequently

    used instructional methods in adult education. Broad well admits that the

    lecture format assumes the educator to be the expert; but describes the

    lecture as "an efficient way of imparting information in a scheduled way

    without interruption, and with less planning than in most other teaching

    methods" (1980,). Cox suggests that, ideally, "Lectures are only there to lay

    foundations, show the way, and ease the passage, as the student works

    through the subject" (1994). Knowles proposes that a good lecturer is one

    who gets to know his/her students and develops the lecture according to the

    student (B needs (1950). The lecture appears to be most effective in

    accomplishing its specific purposes when used in combination with other

    instructional strategies9.

    Online lectures can be presented in a variety of ways. Lecture notes can be

    placed on a web page for the learner to review. Notes can be put together in

    a packet for the learner to refer to and either downloaded in file form using

    File Transfer Protocol (FTP) or sent via regular postal mail. Lectures can

    also be presented via audio or video over the Internet. Since online lectures

    must, of necessity, be carefully prepared in advance, they are likely to be

    shorter and more to the point than many lectures in live classroom which, all

    too often, can extend far beyond the attention span of even adult learners. A

    short lecture which can be read or listened to in ten to twenty minutes will

    be likely to give the learner enough information to serve as a basis for

    further reading, research, or other learning activities. Another obvious

    advantage of online lectures is that they are readily available for students to

    reread or listen to again and again as needed10.

    Self-directed learning can include self-paced learning, independent learning,

    individualized learning and self-instruction. Self-directed learning is defined

    10

  • 8/8/2019 36537913 Self Directed Learning is Effective Then Lecture Method of Learning

    11/29

    by Conner, Wright, DeVries, Curry, Zeider and Wilmsmeyer as "Learning

    initiated and directed by the learner" (1995). Knowles describes self-directed

    learning as usually taking place "in association with various kinds of helpers,

    such as teachers, tutors, mentors, resource people, and peers" (1975).

    Whatever terminology is used, self-directed learning places the

    responsibility for learning directly on the learner15.

    Knowles believes there is convincing evidence that "people who take the

    initiative in learning (proactive learners) learn more things, and learn better,

    than do people who sit at the feet of teachers passively waiting to be taught

    (reactive learners)" (1975). He goes on to say, "They enter into learning

    more purposefully and with greater motivation. They also tend to retain and

    make use of what they learn better and longer than do the reactive learners".

    According to Kemp, Morrison and Ross (1994), "a "true" individualized

    learning or learner-controlled program would require the design of separate

    objectives and learning activities for each learner according to that

    individual's own characteristics, preparation, needs, and interests. Kemp, et

    al suggest that in many learning situations "learners participating in self-

    paced learning programs work harder, learn more, and retain more of what is

    learned" . These and other advocates seem to agree that the independent

    learner is one who is more involved and active within the learning process13.

    Computer-mediated learning via the Internet, by its very nature, supports the

    self-directed learner in pursuing individualized, self-paced learning

    activities. The learner, working at a computer at a convenient time and pace,

    is able to search and utilize the vast archive and database resources of the

    Internet and numerous online library catalogs and document delivery

    systems to research nearly any topic imaginable. He/she can visit libraries,

    museums and various institutes world wide, talk to professionals, access the

    11

  • 8/8/2019 36537913 Self Directed Learning is Effective Then Lecture Method of Learning

    12/29

    latest research, and read electronic newspapers and peer reviewed scholarly

    electronic journals. He/she can write collaboratively with peers and even

    publish written and multimedia products on web pages. The self-directed

    learning possibilities of computer mediated online communication would

    seem limited only by the learner him/herself14.

    The literature pertinent to the study includes an overview of research studies,

    as well as anecdotal writings, related to the field of SDL. A review of

    current research literature regarding PBL in higher education and curriculum

    outcomes are also included16.

    The majority of SDL literature supports the need for empirical testing of a

    theory and extensive theory development (Wilcox, 1996; Garrison, 1997;

    Ramsey & Couch, 1994). Much of the SDL literature has been directed

    toward identifying personal characteristics of the self directed learner

    (Taylor & Burgess, 1995; Kreber, 1998; Pedley & Arbor, 1997). The results

    have been inconclusive regarding specific personal character traits that

    enhance SDL17.

    In one study, Kreber (1998) analysed the relationships between self directed

    learning, critical thinking, and psychological type. Three instruments were

    used in the study. The first tool, the Self Directed Learning Readiness Scale

    (SDLRS) developed by Lucy. M. Guglielmino (1977), which is the same

    instrument used in the current study, was administered. The second tool was

    the Watson-Glaser Critical Thinking Appraisal instrument that tested

    students' abilities to enhance critical thinking. The third instrument used was

    the Psychological Types and the PET Type Check that is based on

    theoretical applications by Jung and measures people's preferences regarding

    intuition and psychological typing (Kreber, 1998)18.

    12

  • 8/8/2019 36537913 Self Directed Learning is Effective Then Lecture Method of Learning

    13/29

    One hundred forty-two undergraduate students from a Canadian university

    were the subjects for the study and they were to complete all three

    questionnaires. Limitations for the study were cited as controversy over the

    content and construct validity of all three instruments used and the fact that

    different disciplines were not represented in the study. No data were

    provided regarding the age of the subjects (Kreber, 1998)16.

    Pedley and Arber (1997) also conducted a study to examine students'

    perceptions of SDL abilities. The authors sought to evaluate student learning

    processes according to the Jarvis' experiential framework. The Jarvis

    framework is a decision-making grid that allows students to make clinical

    decisions within a structural guide. The grid supports three thought

    processes of planning, monitoring and reflecting. In the study, 135 nursing

    students were asked to complete a semi-structured questionnaire regarding

    their ability to perform self directed learning in the confines of a class

    project module. The module was a four-week-long project that required

    students to research and examine factors that influenced their clients' health

    care needs18.

    The only statistical analyses provided by the authors were simple descriptive

    statistics and content analysis. The authors stated they searched for broad

    themes in the open-ended questionnaires for results and no data was reported

    regarding the age of the subjects (Pedley & Arber, 1997)15.

    The results of the Pedley & Arber (1997) study indicate an overwhelming

    majority (97%) of the subjects found the SDL module to be a positive

    learning experience. Twenty percent of the students responded that they

    found the autonomy and freedom of choice, for both content and format, a

    positive learning experience. Overall, comments indicated students

    identified choice and autonomy as important but the authors failed to

    13

  • 8/8/2019 36537913 Self Directed Learning is Effective Then Lecture Method of Learning

    14/29

    provide statistical measures. Nineteen percent of the students considered the

    opportunity to manage their time, and their motivation and assessment skills

    as essential to the SDL process. Ten percent of the subjects indicated they

    learned significant information acquisition, summarizing and evaluating

    skills as a result of the SDL module.

    The authors conclude that the Jarvis framework is instrumental in allowing

    subjects to plan, implement and evaluate their SDL performance. They

    further conclude that there is a great need to continue development of

    student-centered educational methodology in higher education (Pedley &

    Arber, 1997).

    Jacobus, Grol, Crebolder, Rethans and Vleuten (1998) also conducted a

    study in the Netherlands regarding self-assessment of self directed learning.

    They noted that little empirical data supported the validity of previous self-

    assessment ratings and thus was the impetus for the study. Sixty physicians

    were asked to complete a 60-item multiple choice test to ascertain baseline

    content knowledge after completing a continuing education course for

    medical skills. The subjects were randomly divided into control and

    treatment groups. The treatment group received additional skills training and

    consistent feedback over the course of three and six months. A 22-item, self

    assessment questionnaire was given at three and six month intervals to both

    groups. All participants received a detailed written account of their scores,

    including comparison to the other participants and corrective actions for

    items missed.

    The results of the study indicate that there are no significant differences in

    the personal characteristics of groups, knowledge or self-assessment skills.

    Correlations between the two groups for self assessment and knowledge

    were low initially (0.24) and later increased to moderate levels (0.20) toward

    14

  • 8/8/2019 36537913 Self Directed Learning is Effective Then Lecture Method of Learning

    15/29

    the six month mark. The data suggests that over time there are moderate

    improvements for self assessment skills and knowledge for the treatment

    group (Jacobus, et al., 1998).

    The study limitations include the small sample size of volunteer physicians

    and the significant missing scores from several questionnaires. The authors

    report that pre- and post-intervention self assessments were subject to bias

    due to the internal motivation of the subjects. No data were reported

    regarding the age of the subject, however, it was noted that they were all

    experienced physicians (Jacobus et al, 1998)14 .

    The study concludes that self-assessment scores may be useful in obtaining

    measures of perceived competence. The authors also conclude that providing

    regular feedback did not significantly improve any level of skill, knowledge

    acquisition, or self assessment for the subjects (Jacobus et al., 1998).

    Methodology

    3.1 Research Design (Study design):

    This is the comparative study that is applied in this study to achieve

    the study objectives. The research design is suitable because it

    compares between two different teaching methods most commonly

    used as lecture method and self directed learning method. In this study

    the researcher wants to see the results between two different teaching

    methods.

    3.2 Instrument:

    In this study researcher conducted the class test for obtaining the

    results.

    3.3 Population:

    Total students of general Nursing diploma Programme at different

    schools of Nursing of Sindh, Than School of Nursing sir C J institute

    of psychiatry Hyderabad was selected for conducting the research.

    3.4 Sample:

    The researcher selected 40 participants from 2nd year general nursing

    diploma Students School of Nursing sir C J institute of psychiatry

    Discussion

    5.1 Discussion

    According to data it fully supports self directed learning as an

    effective strategy from learning point of view, because it provides an

    individual to use own point of view learning and brain storming

    activities.

    In figure 1 total number of participants of self directed learning was

    20, total marks were 400, and the percentage of total performance was

    88% when the Figure shows the performance of participants in lecture

    method of learning, total numbers of participants were 20 and total

    marks were 400, the percentage of total marks obtained was 68%.

    CHAPTER # 6

    Conclusion

    6.1 Summary:

    There has been the series of changes in education, particularly in

    regard to its perceived role in society and its aims and objectives.

    These changes include changes in aims and more emphasis on inquiry

    and problem solving, a trend towards integration of subject matter, a

    growth of non formal education ,a trend towards particularly learning

    and a growth of information technology all have demanded the need

    of adopting different teaching strategies to understand and face the

    new situation. Amongst all teaching strategies self directed learning

    method has got more importance compared to other teaching

    LEARNING Strategies.

    Lecture method is also another teaching learning strategy which is

    also widely used .In this researcher observed the effectiveness of self

    directed learning method with comparison to lecture method by

    conducting the class test. It was seen that results of self directed

    learning students were better than the lecture method students.

    Our first hypothesis is proved that is self directed learning method is

    effective than lecture method of learning by observing the percentage

    of the results of self-directed learning with lecture method. Our second

    hypothesis is that self directed learning method is less expensive and

    time consuming than lecture method is not proved because SDL.

    1. Consumes time.

    2. Consumes money.
