Abstract

Self-directed learning is deemed as a learning process of students that are willing to take initiative either with or without the help of others, in their learning needs, learning goals, learning strategies and learning outcomes. When it is first introduced, it was viewed as a threat to students’ education establishment. The introduction of self-directed learning is formed to address the meaning, the importance of self-directed learning and the problem faced during students’ study pathway. To date, self-directed is still not well implemented as the majority of the students were still not ready and does not display the right behavior or personality. Thus, this research was to examine the effect of students’ personality traits towards self-directed learning among undergraduate students in Malaysia. Data was collected using a questionnaire to 375 respondents from undergraduate university students in Malaysia. Data collected was analyzed by using the IBM Statistical Package of Social Science (SPSS). Results found that openness to experience, conscientiousness and agreeableness have a positive and significant effect on self-directed learning.
