directed Learning Readiness Scale for Nursing Education. There are three components to measure self directed learning, there are:
a. Self management.
b. Desire for learning.
c. Characteristics of self control.
2. Blended Learning
Blended learning is a formal education program in which students active and learn to control the time, place and capabilities
and combines learning face to face face to faceclassical with online learning through the use of facilitiesinternet media. There
are several different opinions from experts who determine the percentage for each way, whether its face to face or online.
Blended learning requires students to learn independently in learning because learning is done with combination of face to face
and onlinecomputer media.
E. Data Collection Techniques
Questionnaire
The questionnaire is a data collection technique which has provided a written question or statement to be answered by
respondents. The questionnaire is used to measure for students‟ self directed learning. This questionnaire is to measure the feedback from
students re lated to students‟ self directed learning. This research use a
questionnaire so students‟ self directed learning directly can be
measured. F.
Research Instruments
1.
Field notes
Field notes is notes to record learning process with blended learning. In this research, field notes used to obtain data on
students‟ self directed learning, situations, conditions, facilities and infrastructure during the learning process by using blended
learning. 2.
Questionnaire
The questionnaire is an instrument used to find data on students‟ self directed learning. The process of making the
questionnaire relies on a framework that is primarily used in the statement. Researcher use questionnaire items in Murray Fisher,
Jennifer King and Grace Tague ‟s research with the title is
Development of a Self-directed Learning Readiness Scale for
Nursing Education. The framework is described as follows: Table 1. Framework from Self Directed Learning Guidelines

adopted from self directed learning theory according to Knowles in Fisher, King and Tague; 2001.

G. Research Procedure
In this research, will be collaborated between researcher and teachers
of the subject. The research consisted of two cycles where each cycle consists of: learn and plan, action, collect and analyze the data, reflection.
The procedure is as follows.
