Abstract

This study employed a mixed-methods research design using a sequential explanatory approach to examine the level of lifelong learner characteristics, analyze factors associated with these characteristics, and identify factors that promote lifelong learner characteristics among nursing students. The sample consisted of nursing students in Years 1–4 at Boromarajonani College of Nursing, Sawanpracharak, Nakhon Sawan. Quantitative data were collected prior to qualitative data collection. The quantitative research instruments included general information questionnaire, lifelong learner characteristics, achievement motivation, and attitudes towards learning. The qualitative instrument was a structured interview guide. Quantitative data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and Pearson’s product–moment correlation coefficient. Qualitative data were analyzed using content analysis to explain and provide deeper insights into the factors associated with lifelong learner characteristics identified from the quantitative findings.

The results revealed that the overall level of lifelong learner characteristics was high (Mean = 3.08). Achievement motivation and attitudes towards learning were positively and significantly correlated with lifelong learner characteristics at the .01 level (r = .458 and r = .255, respectively). In contrast, academic achievement was not significantly associated with lifelong learner characteristics (r = .150). The qualitative findings indicated that key factors promoting lifelong learner characteristics included teaching and learning approaches, instructional methods, learning support resources, extracurricular activities, essential learning skills, and learning motivation. These findings can be used as a guideline to enhance lifelong learner characteristics among nursing students across multiple dimensions.
