The field of teacher-education is no exception. Student-centered approaches have started gaining popularity in today’s day and age. Self-directed learning is becoming one of the most prominent phenomena for the 21st century learners. This study investigated whether any relationship exists between Self-Directed Learning readiness (SDLR) and academic achievement of student-teachers. For this purpose, quantitative approach was adopted and correlation research design was used. The population comprised all the master level students of the Institute of Education and Research, enrolled in the session 2017-2019. The total number was 510. The researchers used multistage sampling to draw a sample. A total of 300 students were included in the research. To determine the SDLR of student-teachers, a modified SDLI questionnaire, developed by Su-Fen Cheng, Chien-Lin Kuo, Kuan-Chia Lin, and Jane LeeHsieh in 2009, was used. The analysis of the data concluded that student-teachers’ self-directed learning readiness is high. It was determined that a significant difference does not exist among the population on the basis of gender or marital status.  \nKeywords: Self-directed learning readiness (SDLR), academic achievement, student-teacher  \n* Assistant Professor in Institute of Education & Research, University of the Punjab Lahore.  \nEmail: [tariqedu71@yahoo.com](tariqedu71@yahoo.com)  \n** M.T.E, Institute of Education & Research, University of the Punjab, Lahore [Email: ajia-sabar@hotmail.com](Email: ajia-sabar@hotmail.com)  \n*** M.T.E, Institute of Education & Research, University of the Punjab, Lahore  \nEmail: [rafiajabeen764@gmail.com](rafiajabeen764@gmail.com)  \nIntroduction  \nIn this world of rapid development, learning opportunities are virtually limitless. A sense of responsibility and a strong initiative is crucial on behalf of the learner to exploit the available resources and compete with the fast progressing world. This is what makes the concept of self-directed learning (SDL) relevant. It enables the students, according to Gibbons (2002), to survive in today’s world. Knowles (1975) defined SDL as students’ability to decide what and how they want to learn. He considered it a fundamental aspect of human maturation.  \nAccording to Knowles (1975), there is substantial proof that active students who involve themselves in their education, learn better as compared to passive students. As ElGilany and Abusaad (2013) observe; a student’s ability to effectively undertake selfdirected learning is called self-directed learning readiness. Education in Pakistan is mainly teacher-centered (Arshad-Ayaz, 2007) . However, the rise of distant and online education institutes, noticeably Virtual University (VU) and Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU), provide freedom to students, essentially creating a self-directed learner.  \nThere is a need to analyze and understand the relation of self-directed learning readiness (SDLR) and academic achievement. This research was undertaken to address this need. A greater understanding of the readiness for self-directed learning among student-teachers may help in developing appropriate teacher-training curriculum, updating educational procedures, and amending educational policies that may promote effective learning among the prospective teachers. SDLR has been a topic of research studies in various disciplines but, to the best of researchers’ knowledge, there is no research in the field of teacher-education, specifically in the context of Pakistan.  \nReview of Related Literature  \nSelf-directed learning is an important manifestation of and ragogy, or adult learning.
