The purpose of this study was to confirm that interaction in the relationships with professors and peers and academic self-efficacy were the factors affecting self-directed learning ability necessary to improve qualification as a professional and contribute to the qualitative improvement in dental hygiene education in an attempt to improve self-directed learning ability for dental hygiene students. Self-administered questionnaires were used to collect data from March 5 to April 20 2019, 259 dental hygiene students in the J region. As for the factors affecting self-directed learning ability in dental hygiene students, the higher level of academic self-efficacy, the more active in interaction with peers, the higher academic performance, the more willing to choose the department of dental hygiene, and the more interaction with professors, the higher level of self-directed learning ability. The explanatory power of the model was approximately 53%. On the basis of these results, it is necessary to give positive support so that dental hygiene students can be given education and the environment to strengthen the bond with professors and peers as well as teaching-learning methods, taking into account the methods of allowing students with a lower level of academic self-efficacy to have positive learning attitude and participate actively in learning, with the objective of improving self-directed learning for dental hygiene students.
