This paper considers whether a student's self-directed learning readiness (SDLR) score, which "looks at the attitudes, abilities, and personality characteristics necessary for self-directed learning", is predictive of a student's classroom preference style (knowledge construction, teacher direction, cooperative learning, and passive learning). You might think so, and an earlier study suggested it would, but this study didn't really find a correlation. "These results seem to suggest that a students' level of SDL is generally not related to their preferences for  teaching  style."
