“…This finding supports the previous findings [6,16]. Self-directed learning helps motivate the search for new data to evaluate and modify results achieved in the reflective judgment process [2,31]. For self-directed learning to be successfully implemented, learners should be familiar with the method, and the educational environment must allow proper evaluation of the results of self-directed learning [32].…”

“…Problem-solving ability is the skill of identifying a problem and taking action to solve it [1], in particular, it is essential for health professionals to perform clinical reasoning and make a decision [2]. Clinical reasoning is used to identify and explore causal relationships between sets of causes and effects and to achieve a deeper understanding of complex phenomena [3].…”

“…The problem-solving process includes a reflective judgement process that monitors the implementation and results and modifies the strategy/action if necessary [2]. To implement the reflective judgement process, the capacity for self-directed learning is required [2,9]. Selfdirected learning can help nursing students in data seeking and analysis of the reflective process [2].…”

“…Many studies have reported that a higher self-directed learning ability is linked to a higher problem-solving ability [12,14]. Therefore, to improve problem-solving ability, education to enhance self-directed learning such as simulation-based education has been provided in nursing education [2]. However, it is not easy to improve problem-solving ability by simply using self-directed learning [15].…”

Problem-solving ability is necessary for the clinical reasoning and decision-making of nurses to solve patients’ health problems. This study aims to investigate the association between self-directed learning and problem-solving ability using the multiple mediation model to identify strategies to enhance problem-solving ability in nursing students. This is a descriptive survey study of 193 nursing students from two universities in South Korea. Data about self-directed learning, self-regulated learning, academic self-efficacy, and problem-solving ability were collected using structured questionnaires between 5 March and 17 June 2018, and were analyzed using serial multiple mediation analysis. The direct effect of self-directed learning on problem-solving ability was statistically significant. The serial multiple mediation technique predicting problem-solving ability from self-directed learning, academic self-efficacy, and self-regulated learning was significant, explaining 40% of the variance in problem-solving ability. The relationship between self-directed learning and problem-solving ability was partially mediated by academic self-efficacy and self-regulated learning. This study suggests the suitability of considering academic self-efficacy and self-regulated learning together when conducting self-directed learning to improve nursing students’ problem-solving ability.

The second in a series of perspectives from the ADEA Commission on Change and Innovation in Dental Education (CCI), this article presents the CCI's view of the dental education environment necessary for effective change. The article states that the CCI's purpose is related to leading and building consensus in the dental community to foster a continuous process of innovative change in the education of general dentists. Principles proposed by CCI to shape the dental education environment are described; these are critical thinking, lifelong learning, humanistic environment, scientific discovery and integration of knowledge, evidence‐based oral health care, assessment, faculty development, and the health care team. The article also describes influences external to the academic dental institutions that are important for change and argues that meaningful and long‐lasting change must be systemic in nature. The CCI is ADEA's primary means to engage all stakeholders for the purpose of educating lifelong learners to provide evidence‐based care to meet the needs of society.
