Self-Directed Learning of Student in Mathematics Education: Is There Any Problem?

Abstract

Self directed learning is an awareness by individuals to gain knowledge with or without encouragement from others. There are several components of self directed learning which are related to Leaning motivation (LM), Planning and Implementing (PI), Self-monitoring (SM) and Interpersonal communication (IC). This research was conducted on 129 junior high school students. Then data obtained were processed quantitatively and explained in detail from the tables obtained. As for the results show that students still have problems in their self directed learning. So that efforts are needed to improve these capabilities.
