Abstract
This study was conducted to find out the relationship between teaching presence and self-directed learning readiness in e-learning environment. 219 cyber university students finished the web-formatted questionnaires. The Self-Directed Learning Readiness Scale-Adult Based Education instrument and Teaching Presence Scale instrument were used. The results of the present study can be concluded as follow. First of all, teaching presence and self-directed learning readiness have a very high relationship in e-learning environment. Secondly, all five components of teaching presence have significant correlations with self-directed learning readiness. Thirdly, depending on the results of multiple regression analysis, only components of instructional contents and facilitating communication predict the self-directed learning readiness.
