Abstract：

The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of two types self-directed learning. The quasi-experimentation design was used in this research. The results were: 1. The effectiveness of self-directed learning approach were good. (1) The immediately effect, short-term effect and long-term effect in hypertension knowledge were significant. (2) The immediately effect, short-term effect and long-term effect in self-directed learning readiness towards hypertension were significant. 2. The two types of self-directed learning approach had the same effectiveness in hypertension knowledge in immediately effect and short-term effect. 3. The long-term effect in hypertension knowledge change was more obvious in small group self-directed learning approach than collective self-directed learning approach.
