Abstract

Background: The concept of self-directedness is defined by the active participation of students in all phases of learning, from framing the learning objectives to the assessment process. Various scales have been developed to measure self-directed learning (SDL) among students. Fishers' SDL readiness scale (SDLRS) was validated among nursing students. The present study assessed the reliability of Fisher's SDLRS among medical students in India. Factor analysis was carried out to reduce the total number of items in the scale. Materials and Methods: The SDLRS used in the study consisted of 52 items classified under three domains. The scale was administered to a sample of 367 medical students between the first and seventh semesters. Cronbach's alpha was used to measure the reliability of the scale. For item-reduction and further abridgment, factor analysis was done using principal component analysis. Results: Cronbach's alpha was found to be 0.93 for Fisher's 52-item scale. Satisfactory reliability was observed across each domain (≥0.7). Factor analysis enabled the reduction of scale to 29 items with three domains. Conclusion: Fisher's 52-item SDLRS is a reliable scale for use among medical students in India. We propose the use of a reliable and shortened 29-item scale.

fisher的52项自主学习准备量表在印度南部医学生中的可靠性和适应性评估
背景:自我指导的概念是指学生积极参与学习的各个阶段,从制定学习目标到评估过程。各种各样的量表被用来衡量学生的自主学习。fisher的SDL准备度量表(SDLRS)在护生中被验证。本研究评估Fisher's SDLRS在印度医学生中的可靠性。进行因子分析以减少量表的总条目数。材料和方法:研究中使用的SDLRS包括52个项目,分为三个领域。该量表在第一学期至第七学期期间对367名医科学生进行了抽样调查。采用Cronbach’s alpha来衡量量表的信度。为了减少项目和进一步删节,因子分析采用主成分分析。结果:Fisher 52题量表的Cronbach's alpha值为0.93。在各个领域均观察到令人满意的信度(≥0.7)。因子分析使量表减少到29个项目与三个领域。结论:Fisher的52项SDLRS量表在印度医学生中是一种可靠的量表。我们建议使用可靠且缩短的29项量表。
