Atay, Bulut; Sumuer, Evren – International Journal of Information and Learning Technology, 2021
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the components of college students' readiness for connectivist learning in technology-enhanced learning environments through the development of the readiness for connectivist learning scale (RCLS). Design/methodology/approach: After the constructs of the scale had been identified, their items…

Robert Whannell; Mitchell Parkes; Tim Bartlett-Taylor; Ingrid Harrington – Electronic Journal of e-Learning, 2024
This study reports on two key aspects relating to the use of the Online Learning Readiness Self-Check (OLRSC) survey, which has been proposed as identifying non-traditional students' readiness for online learning, and their strengths and weaknesses in six key areas. The first aspect validates the use of the instrument based on data from 199…

Chen, Ken-Zen; Chen, Chang-Hua; Tsai, Hsiao-Feng; Li, Shao-Chi; Guglielmino, Lucy M. – International Journal of Self-Directed Learning, 2020
The objective of this study was to determine the fitness of the Self-Directed Learning Readiness Scale (SDLRS) factorial structure for Taiwanese secondary school students. Analyzing the model fit of the SDLRS was undertaken. Data from the 8-dimensional 58-item SDLRS completed by 3,878 students from 7 Taiwan secondary schools were analyzed using…

Elik, Nezihe; Wiener, Judith; Corkum, Penny – European Journal of Teacher Education, 2010
This self-report study investigated 274 pre-service teachers' attitudes toward students with learning and behavioural difficulties (LBD) and the factors that predict their attitudes. Using four scenarios describing students with LBD, we investigated the degree to which pre-service teachers' open-minded thinking dispositions, readiness to learn…

Straka, Gerald A.; Hinz, Ingo M. – 1996
A study reanalyzed the 1977 original form of the Self-Directed Learning Readiness Scale (SDLRS) developed by Guglielmino. It questioned whether there is an intracultural and intercultural factorial consistency, whether raters would reconfirm the eight-factor solution, and whether raters would reconfirm the main characteristics of a "highly…

Peer reviewedField, Lawrence – Adult Education Quarterly, 1989
Examines the structure, validity, and reliability of Guglielmino's self-directed learning readiness scale. Reviews related literature and refutes Guglielmino's thesis. Reports data derived from an administration of the scale that reveal problems in wording and show that the scale measures a homogeneous construct not associated with readiness for…

PDF pending restorationStraka, Gerald A. – 1995
The structure and validity of Guglielmino's Self-Directed Learning Readiness Scale (SDLRS) have been examined repeatedly. In 1979, Mourad and Torrance investigated the construct validity of the SDLRS in a study involving a random sample of 684 of the 1,500 students enrolled in the University of Georgia's Program on Gifted/Talented Education. In…

Peer reviewedMooij, Ton – Early Child Development and Care, 2000
A pilot study examined the reliability and predictive validity of a screening instrument for Dutch kindergartners. Findings indicated acceptable reliability and predictive validity. Parents could accurately screen their child's language proficiency level, pre-arithmetic level, and degree of extraversion at school entry. Teachers could predict…
