Abstract

Purpose
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of self-directed learning strategies on e-learning pre-learning focusing on the flow experience.
Methods
A structured self-report questionnaire was used to measure learning outcome achievement, pre-learning satisfaction, learning persistence, flow experience, and self-directed learning strategies. Data were collected from September 3~7, 2018. Participants were 150 nursing students studying at a university in D city. Data were analyzed using t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, and hierarchical multiple linear regression with the SPSS/WIN 23.0 program.
Results
The flow experience had a partial mediating effect between self-directed learning strategies and pre-learning satisfaction (β=.73, p<.001). Also the flow experience had a partial mediating effect between self-directed learning strategies and learning outcome achievement (β=.17, p=.020) and learning persistence (β=.24, p=.001).
Conclusion

Results
suggest that flow experience has a positive effect as a mediating effect in the relationship between self-directed learning strategy and pre-learning satisfaction, learning outcome achievement, and learning persistence. Therefore, it is necessary to identify education methods that include flow experience with self-directed learning strategies.
