This study aimed to determine the relationship between learning motivation and SDLR of first year students at the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Sam Ratulangi. This was an observational and analytical study using a cross-sectional design. There were two types of questionnaires which were the motivated strategies for learning questionnaire (MSLQ) to assess learning motivation and the self-directed learning readiness scale (SDLRS) to assess readiness for independent learning. The Spearman test showed that there was a significant relationship between learning motivation and SDLR (p-value=0.000), with a strong and positive correlation (r=0.557) among the first-year students of Faculty of Medicine Universitas Sam Ratulangi. In conclusion, there is a significant relationship between learning motivation and self-directed learning readiness (SDLR) with a strong and positive correlation.
