The study reveals the relationships between the level of self-directedness and educational performance of students in the cyber education environment. Where the motivations for participating cyber education may vary, the final destination of education may be the same-improving the level of self achievement by study. As the researchers believe that the paramount success factor of cyber education would be self-directedness, we probed the factors to build UP self-directedness. Researchers developed the level of self-directedness as object-orientation, action-orientation, and learning orientation. Those composite orientations were compared with learning achievement. The study showed the significant relationship between some factors of self-directedness and educational performance.
