Abstract

Objective: To measure the readiness for self-directed learning among medical undergraduates of private and public medical colleges, and to evaluate their performance and strategies.

Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted in Lahore, Pakistan from February to July 2023, and comprised medical undergraduate students of either gender from 1 private and 1 public academic institution. Data was collected using a prevalidated structured questionnaire having self-management, desire for learning, and self-control domains to explore self-directed learning readiness. Data was analysed using SPSS 26.

Results: Of the 330 subjects, 166(50.3%) were females and 164(49.7%) males, while 166(50.3%) were from the private institution and 164(49.7%) were from the public institution. There were 183(55.4%) students in the 3rd year, 89(27.0%) in the 4th year and 58(17.6%) in the final year of their coursework. Self-directed learning readiness was significantly higher in students from the private institution (p<0.05).

Conclusions: There was a significant correlation between self-directed learning readiness in private and public medical education institutions, with readiness being higher in the private sector.

期刊介绍： Primarily being a medical journal, JPMA publishes scholarly research focusing on the various fields in the areas of health and medical education. It publishes original research describing recent advances in health particularly clinical studies, clinical trials, assessments of pathogens of diagnostic importance, medical genetics and epidemiological studies. Review articles highlighting importance of various issues in the domain of public health, drug research and medical education are also accepted. As a leading journal of South Asia, JPMA remains cognizant of the recent advances in the rapidly growing fields of biomedical sciences, it invites and encourages scholars to write short reviews and invited editorials on the emerging issues. We particularly aim to promote health standards of developing countries by encouraging manuscript submissions on issues affecting the public health and health delivery services.
