The purpose of the study was to verify reliability and validity of SDLRS instrument and to prove up possibility of usage as an evaluation method for evaluating life-long learning. Literature review and survey were used to accomplish objectives of the study. 218 students in department of mechanical engineering of A university at Gyunggi province were responded for SDLRS(Guglielmino, 1977) instrument. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, factor analysis, t-test, and ANOVA test. 58 items in original version instrument were converted to 23 items. There were 7 factors for assessing the self-directed learning readiness according to this measurement scale with a total variance of about 58%. The total reliability of the final 23 items was $\alpha$. The final 7 factors consisted of love for learning, openness for learning, self-perception, basic learning function and independence, acceptance of responsibility for learning, leadership and future directivity, and creativity and exploration. The result of SDLRS analysis according to individual background, there were significant statistically in the grade, period of employment in industry, entering graduate school or not, and GPA, but no significant statistically in sexual difference, employment in industry or not, final academic level of parent, and income level of the family. In the future, final instrument will be needed to check in the respect of correlation with another ability and skill influencing on life-long learning, and more study will be done for developing life-long learning.

In this study, the assessment and the factor analysis of the self-directed learning readiness for engineering students were conducted. As measurement tool was used the self-directed learning readiness scale of Guglielmino's SDLRS questionnaire in Korean translation. It was surveyed under 519 students of Faculty of Engineering of Korea University of Technology and Education. Responded questionnaires were 496. As a result, seven factors were identified: (1)openness to learning, (2)initiative and inquiring mind, (3)independence and basic learning skills, (4)creativity, (5)accepting responsibility for learning, (6)love of learning, (7)positive orientation of the future. And the scale was confirmed in validity. It was confirmed that the mean value of openness to learning and of love of learning were higher than average, while mean value of independence and basic learning skills, accepting responsibility for learning were lower than average, there was the difference in SDLRS by students' personal backgrounds, but there were statistically significant differences in seven factors.

This study aims to investigate relationships among self-directed learning readiness [SDLR], prerequisite mathematics test score and achievement level in college mathematics. For this purpose, the adjusted SDLRS (self-directed learning readiness scale) of Guglielmino's model, the score of mathematics diagnostic assesment and first semester college mathematics score among 424 freshmen students of engineering department of D university in 2011 were used and analyzed. Research results are as follows: Firstly, freshmen of engineering department had average level of SDLR, though they showed relative low level of self-direction, passion and time control ability. Secondly, considering SDLR with the mathematics diagnostic assesment score (3 groups: high, middle, low), there were no statistically significant differences. Thirdly, concerning SDLR according to the achievement level in college mathematics, a group which acquired good achievement showed higher level of SDLR compared with middle or lowachievement group. Differences among three groups were statistically significant. Lastly, there were affirmative relationships between SDLR, mathematics diagnostic assesment score and achievement in college mathematics. Furthermore, mathematics diagnostic assesment score and achievement level in college mathematics were found to be the most closely related. Based on the results, we suggest strategies to elevate SDLR of engineering department students and improve their achievement in college mathematics.

본 연구는 다중참여역할수행게임(Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game, 이하 MMORPG)이 자기주도 학습능력에 미치는 효과를 살펴보는데 목적이 있으며, 초등학교에 재학중인 4, 5, 6학년 3개 학급을 실험 대상으로 4주간 실험하였다. 실험집단은 방과 후 수업시간을 이용하여 일주일에 2시간 이상 MMORPG를 활용한 한자수업을 학습하도록 지도하였고, 통제집단은 교사의 수업 진행으로 학습하였다. 실험 전 두 집단 간의 자기주도 학습능력에 대한 동질성을 검증하기 위하여 자기주도 학습준비도 검사(Self-Directed Learning Readiness Scale, 이하 SDLRS)를 이용하여 자기주도 학습능력 사전검사를 실시하였고, 4주간 실험이 끝난 후 자기주도 학습능력 검사의 차이를 알아보았다. 더 나아가 하위요소인 효율적인 학습자라는 개념, 학습에 대한 솔선수범 및 독립성, 창의성, 자신의 학습에 대한 책임감, 기본학습 기능과 문제해결 기술, 미래 지향적인 자기이해 학습기회에 대한 개방성, 학습에 대한 애정과 열성을 다변량분산분석(MANOVA)를 실시하여 통계분석 하였다. 이러한 연구결과들을 바탕으로 다음과 같은 결론을 내릴 수 있다. 첫째, MMORPG를 활용한 한자학습과 일반교실 한자학습은 독립표본 t검정 결과 자기주도 학습능력에서 유의미한 차이가 나타났다. 즉, MMORPG를 활용한 한자학습이 일반교실수업에 의한 학습보다 높은 자기주도 학습능력 정도를 보여 주었다. 둘째, MMORPG를 활용한 한자학습이 하위요소 간에 어떠한 여향을 미치는가를 알아보기 위해 실시한 MANOVA 결과 효율적인 학습자라는 개념, 학습에 대한 솔선수범 및 독립성, 창의성, 자신의 학습에 대한 책임감, 기본학습 기능과 문제해결 기술, 미래 지향적인 자기이해에서는 유의미한 것으로 나왔지만 학습기회에 대한 개방성, 학습에 대한 애정과 열성에서는 유의미한 결과를 얻지 못하였다.

In order to study the relation between self-directed learning readiness and mathematical inclination, we survey the adjusted SDLRS(self-directed learning readiness scale) of Guglielmino's model and the mathematical inclination, the recognition of mathematics for 2011 year engineering freshmen in D university. Research results are as follows: First of all, middle level engineering freshmen showed average level of self-directed learning readiness, and they had lower level of motivation, passion and time management skill. The relation of SDLR and the mathematical inclination was strong. Furthermore, SDLR and the recognition of mathematics in engineering freshmen was found to be the most closely related. Based on the results of the study, we suggest to study of strategies to elevate SDLR of engineering students and improve their achievement in college mathematics. Especially, we suggest that college mathematics for engineering freshmen must be focused on the improvement of SDLR.
