“…Therefore, a number of studies have aimed at identifying predictors for individual differences in these abilities (e.g., Donche, De Maeyer, Coertjens, Van Daal, & Van Petegem, 2013) as well as at examining between-group differences (e.g., gender differences; Ruffing, Wach, Spinath, Brünken, & Karbach, 2014) or designing interventions in order to improve the way students approach learning and study processes (for an overview, see Hattie, Biggs, & Purdie, 1996). Still, there are many unanswered questions regarding university students' learning strategy use and the comparability of previous findings is limited, partly because of the heterogeneity of theoretical perspectives, measurement instruments and terminologies adopted in prior studies (for a review, see Entwistle & McCune, 2004).…”
