The research question was that what effects does subject-integrated project learning have on self-directed learning ability of elementary school students. To conduct this purpose, 32 students of one class as an experimental group and 32 students of the same grade as a control group were selected. The subject-integrated project activities were applied to experiment group, but conventional lesson was applied to control group. The results were summarized as follows. First, students who learned by subject-integrated project teaching method showed higher self-directed learning ability than those who were educated in a traditional way.
