“…Several surveys and questionnaires have been developed over the years to measure study skills ( Turnbough & Christenberry, 1997 ). The Learning and Study Strategies Inventory (LASSI) ( Weinstein, 1987 ;Weinstein, Palmer, & Shulte, 2002 ) has been used extensively in educational settings ( Hewlett, Boonstra, Bell, & Zumbo, 2000 ;Prevatt, Reaser, Proctor, & Petscher, 2007 ;H & H Publishing, 2011 ). The LASSI was developed as a self-report measure to assess study skills of high school and college students within educational contexts ( Weinstein, 1987 ;Prevatt, et al ., 2007 ).…”

413 (119 men, 294 women) undergraduate university students in Qatar completed an Arabic version of the Learning and Study Strategies Inventory (LASSI) measuring Anxiety, Attitude, Concentration, Information Processing, Motivation, Self-testing, Selecting Main Ideas, Study Aids, Time Management, and Test Strategies. The students' learning and study strategies scores were similar to those reported in the literature. Factor analysis indicated the same general factors as in the original study. Internal consistency estimates ranged from .62 to .88. Nine of the 10 scales (i.e., all with the exception of the Study Aids) significantly correlated with students' GPAs. Scores obtained from these scales provide valid assessments of Qatar University students' use of learning and study strategies related to skill, will, and self-regulation components of strategic learning and also academic achievement. There also were statistically significant differences between higher and lower achieving students in their learning and study strategies. This study also explored the use of the LASSI as a predictive measure of academic achievement. Anxiety and test strategies were significant predictors of academic achievement as measured by students' GPA.

“…In addition, the underlying goal of these types of instruments is to provide useful information for teachers, school counselors, and developmental studies professionals regarding students’ study habits and learning orientations (Pintrich & Johnson, 1990). Of the most recent instruments developed in the past 25 years, the Learning and Study Strategies Inventory (LASSI) (Weinstein, 1987) has been used extensively in educational settings (H & H Publishing, 2011; Hewlett, Boonstra, Bell, & Zumbo, 2000; Prevatt, Reaser, Proctor, & Petscher, 2007; Weinstein, 1987; Williams, 1995).…”

Concurrent validation procedures were employed, using a sample of African American precollege students, to determine the extent to which scale scores obtained from the first edition of the Learning and Study Strategies Inventory (LASSI) were appropriate for diagnostic purposes. Data analysis revealed that 2 of the 10 LASSI scales (i.e., Anxiety and Test Strategies) significantly correlated with a measure of academic ability. These results suggested that scores obtained from these LASSI scales may provide valid assessments of African American precollege students’ academic aptitude. Implications for teachers, school counselors, and developmental studies professionals were discussed.

“…En este sentido, varios son los instrumentos que se han desarrollado internacionalmente. Uno de los primeros instrumentos en aparecer fue el Learning and Study Strategies Inventory (LASSI, Weinstein, 1987;Weinstein, Zimmerman y Palmer, 1988), creado para evaluar el conocimiento y uso de habilidades y estrategias de aprendizaje en contexto universitario (Weinstein, 1987;Weinstein et al, 1988), y que ha sido ampliamente utilizado en la práctica universitaria (por ejemplo, Robertson, 1994) y en investigación sobre estrategias de aprendizaje (Hewlett, Boonstra, Bell y Zumbo, 2000;Ley y Young, 1998;Schumacker, Saylor y Bembry, 1995). El LASSI se compone de diez escalas diferentes: Actitud, Motivación, Manejo del Tiempo, Ansiedad, Concentración, Procesamiento de la Información, Selección de las Ideas Principales, Metas de Estudio, Autoevaluación y Estrategias de Evaluación, de las cuales las cinco primeras evalúan características motivacionales o afectivas y cualidades de los estudiantes relativas a las habilidades de estudio y el rendimiento académico, y las cinco últimas valoran las actividades específicas que los estudiantes desarrollan mientras estudian (Weinstein, 1987).…”
