Abstract
The purpose of this research is to study factors that encourage self-directed learning abilities in Grade 1 students and to propose guidelines for authorized educators at the Grade 1 level, aiming to appropriately promote self-directed learning abilities in the targeted students. The research employs mixed research methods, collecting quantitative and qualitative data through a questionnaire, interviews, and observations on a group of teachers from 92 teachers out of 120 selected from the highest practice level school in promoting self-directed learning abilities, using a Simple Random Sampling then a Purposive Sampling in order to conduct interviews and observations related to teaching process management. The collected data were analyzed using averages, percentages, standard deviations, and content analysis in analytic induction. The results indicate that the majority of teachers most effectively promote self-directed learning abilities through the learning attitude aspect, followed by the student-teacher relationship, learning atmosphere, learning motivation, learning resource readiness, and learning readiness, respectively.
