Correlation Between Self-learning Readiness and Self-study Activities in Higher Education
Abstract
The dynamics of learning in higher education today, right down to the stage of producing graduates that oriented are towards sustainable learning needs (long life learning), and meeting the needs of a specific market need. This has resulted in universities implementing self-learning, which is characterized by the interaction of lecturers and students in organizing learning, giving a greater share to students. The readiness of universities in carrying self-learning, in this study emphasizes the interactions found of lecturers and students in accommodating forms of self-learning activities consisting of Apprenticeship, Urban Development, Student exchange/ interscience, Research Collaboration, Entrepreuneurial, Independent Project, Community Engagement, and Learning Society. The result on lecturer respondents using a linear regression approach, shows that the factors of Apprenticeship and Research Collaboration activities, have little effect on the readiness of universities in carrying out Self-Learning activities, which shows that lecturers have to provide the widest possible opportunity for students to engage directly, in Apprenticeship and research activities.
