Guided Learning To Improve Self Directed Learning: A Study Among First Year Psychology Students In Unimas

Many studies agreed that students in higher education institution, particularly in year one, still rely on teacher-centred learning (Du Toit-Brits, 2019). This phenomenon was also found, particularly among first year UNIMAS students. They tend to wait for lecturers to spoon-feed them as what they had experienced during their secondary education.
