Problem-based learning method is influenced by student’s self directed learning readiness (sdlr) while sdlr are influenced by tutor’s skills and learning facilities. this study aims to identify the correlation between student’s perceptions of tutor’s skills and learning facilities toward student’s sdlr. this was a descriptive analytical study with cross sectional design. population were all medical students of pspd fk unsyiah whereas samples were selected by stratified random sampling. data collected by using questionnaire that had been tested by validity and reliabelity test. data were then tested by normality test and analysed by chi - square (95% ci). data were showed in distribution frequency table. this sudy showed that there were not significant correlation between student perceptions of tutor’s skills toward student’s sdlr. p value of 3rd year student was 0,078, 2nd year student was 0,332 and 1st year student was 0,662. however,based on data analysis of each question, it showed most of students answered that tutor occasionally play their role in tutorial. significant correlation between student perceptions of learning facilities toward student’s sdlr was only showed in 3rd year student (p = 0,041; pr = 1,5; 95% ci = 1,031 – 5,687). meanwhile, in 2nd year student (p = 0,967) and 1st year student (p = 0,876) the correlation was not significant. it can be concluded that there is significant correlation between student’s perceptions of learning facilities toward student’s sdlr. student who have good perception of learning facilities will have good sdlr, thus learning facilities needs to be increased so that student’s sdlr will be better. keywords: problem-based learning, self directed learning readiness, tutor, facilities
