Abstract
Teaching delivery has been inspired by information technology and derived it from traditional face-to-face teaching (or teacher directed learning) to multi-channel learning model, providing a better interactive learning environment within the scope of teaching and learning.
This study aims to explore if the intention of continuing study is affected by self-directed learning readiness and learning satisfaction. The relationship between demographic variables and self-directed readiness, learning satisfaction and the intention of continuing study were also discussed. 1055 valid respondents of 1085 students were from the National Open University and the Open University of Kaohsiung. Descriptive statistics, ANOVA one-way, Pearson correlation and multiple regressions were executed to examine the relation among variables.
The results of data analysis are shown in the following:
1. Female students of National Open University show less creative learning than males. Nevertheless, they enjoy themselves in learning and have stronger motivation in learning.Aging students show greater self-motivated learning and learning motivation than the young. Students with higher educational background have best performance on self-directed learning readiness.
2.The data demonstrates that enjoy in learning is major factor concerning to teachers¡¦ teaching.
3.Enjoy in learning and self-motivated learning have the highest influence on academic administration service and good incentive respectively.
4.Learning satisfaction plays an important mediating role to self-directed learning readiness and intention of continuing study.
Suggestions to educators and directions of this future work are also given in the study.
Key words: Self-directed learning readiness, Learning satisfaction, Intention of continuing study, Open University
