This study is a descriptive survey research aiming to evaluate a learning style and self-directed
readiness. Moreover, it aims to identify how the learning style affects self-directed readiness. Data obtained
with 248 freshmen and sophomore nursing students who have taken a problem based learning. Data was
analysed using SPSS 20.0 program. The results of the study were that collaborate learning style in problem
based learning was dominant. Learning style by general characteristics was not statistically meaningful but
self-directed readiness was differentiated by grade, satisfaction level on major, average score. It showed that
among 6 subcategories of learning style, participant, dependent, independent, avoidant style affect
self-directed readiness. We consider that it could be suggested a basic data based upon with these results
for class design, strategy development in order to improve the self-directed readiness. We also suggest
teaching strategy development enhancing self-directed readiness considering learning style of students.
