Sumario:Supplemental digital content is available in the text. Selecting appropriate teaching and learning strategies within an overarching teaching philosophy is 1 way of influencing nursing students’ self-directedness. We conducted research to compare the self-directed learning readiness and learning attributes in different years of study of undergraduate nursing students who are exposed to traditional, lecture-based learning and problem-based learning strategies. We found that readiness for self-directed learning is not dependent on the dominant teaching-learning strategy used in the nursing program.
