Abstract

LIGETI STUARDO, Paula; FASCE HENRY, Eduardo  and  VELIZ-ROJAS, Lizet. Self-directed learning and academic motivation in nursing students from a university of Chile. Index Enferm [online]. 2020, vol.29, n.1-2, pp.74-78.  Epub Oct 19, 2020. ISSN 1699-5988.

Objective:

Analyse the relation between self-directed learning and academic motivation in nursing students.

Methods:

Quantitative, correlational, cross-sectional study. 134 students participated (U). The Self-Directed Learning Scale (SDLR) of Fisher, Tague& King, the Academic Motivation Scale (AMS) and the socio-demographic questionnaire were used,to characterize the sample. The SPSS software is used to analyze the data. 0.19.

Results:

There was a statistically significant association between self-directed learning with: intrinsic motivation with stimulation of the experience towards achievement and knowledge, and with extrinsic motivation of identified regulation; and the demotivation had an inversely proportional association.

Conclusions:

The most self-determined students, that is, those with the highest intrinsic motivations, had the highest level of autonomy.
