Construction and Validation of Self-Directed Learning Behavioral Framework from the Perspective of Process
Self-Directed Learning(SDL)is widely concerned as an important skill for human survival and de-velopment in the learning society.Learning behavior is an important indicator to characterize learners'SDL lev-el.This study constructs the"SDL behavioral framework",which aims to provide an operational tool for charac-terizing and diagnosing learners'SDL level from a behavioral perspective.First,an initial"SDL behavioral frame-work"was constructed based on the literature research method.Then,the framework was modified and improved through two rounds of Delphi method.Finally,capturing the real learning behavioral data of 335 students in the context of Self-Directed 3D Design,the framework was verified through confirmatory factor analysis based on the"SDL behavioral framework".The results showed that"SDL behavioral framework"had a good fit.It in-cludes three activity phases,namely:planning,execution and regulation,and evaluation and reflection.The plan-ning stage includes behaviors of goal setting,learning planning,and resource accessing;the execution and regula-tion stage includes behaviors of task execution,task observation,behavior regulation,and interpersonal communi-cation;the evaluation and reflection stage includes behaviors of learning evaluation and learning reflection.
