The purpose of the present study is to provide a tripartite practical model to improve students’ potentialities for SDL.The data for the study were collected via standardized semi- structured questionnaire and interview.

The findings revealed the participants positive attitudes towards a myriad of parameters of a successful SDL.

Hence, this model is based upon these fundamentals: personal attributes, process, context, and the embodiment of Self Directed Learning Rating Scale (SDLRS) which is a yardstick to test the learners’ levels, and the requisite skills for becoming independent and lifelong learners.
