Abstract

The primary objectives of the study were to provide more insight into the relationship between self-directed learning and academic achievement and to compare and contrast the benefits of independent study in online and conventional higher education settings. Researchers used a questionnaire they developed to collect data from both online and conventional students. All education majors from two institutions participated in this study; one was an online college, while the other was a more conventional four-year university. The SDL of those who study online varies widely from that of on-campus students. In contrast to conventional students at universities, online learners exhibit a larger connection between SDL and academic performance. Research findings provide credence to SDL's potential as a tool for increasing students' ability to self-regulate their own education.
