Learning Strategy and Higher Order Thinking Skills of Students in Accounting Studies: Correlation and Regression Analysis

Abstract

The mastery of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) among students is a reflection appropriate learning strategies that students have applied. Therefore, the choice of learning strategies that are relevant to the subjects being studied is seen as contributing to the successful in mastering of HOTS among students. However, does this response also occur in the selection of learning strategies and HOTS's mastery in Accounting Studies? Hence, this research was conducted with the aim of examining the relationship between HOTS and learning strategies in Accounting Studies. This study is conducted by employing correlation research method on 340 students studying Accounting Studies in Peninsular Malaysia participated in this research through completing a self-administered questionnaire, which included the Learning and Study Strategies Inventory (LASSI) and Higher Order Thinking Skills Test. Applying skills, analytical skills, evaluative skills, and creative skills are among the four elements of HOTS tested. The analysis showed that positive significant relationship (r = 0.194) exists between the two variables and the regression equation is an average grade point = 46.442 + 4.349 Learning Strategies. Thus, through correlation and regression analysis, significant regression model between HOTS and Learning Strategies were found.

Optimized machine learning based predictive diagnosis approach for diabetes mellitus

“…The correlation matrix is defined as a table of all bivariate or zero-order correlations between and among the attributes in the dataset. 23 A correlation heatmap plot for feature selection is presented in Figure 3. It depicts shows correlations between and among all relevant features.…”

Seeking higher order construction of cognitive abilities in a psychosocial learning environment

“…It means that nowadays, the management team at school and teachers already know the importance of a psychosocial learning environment to be focused on building an interactive learning environment to attract people to learning [25], [26]. Apart from that, interactive learning can be achieved through the implementation of education by using self-learning module (SLM) [27]- [29]. In SLM, it enhances students' skills to become more independent and creative to settle down all the problems that occur that relate to the learning process [15], [30], [31].…”

Students’ Motivation and Engagement in the Implementation of Individual Development Plan for Underrepresented Minority (URM) Students in Undergraduate STEM Training Programs

“…One major element is the confidence of an individual, which is also known as expectancy belief, and the other is their interests, which are identified as value beliefs. A person's confidence, or expectation belief, is one important component; their interests, or value beliefs, are the other [19]. There is a positive correlation between the expectancy or value beliefs of an individual and their motivation levels.…”

“…When a person is motivated, it can be positively associated with how they learn, achieve, perform, and their coping abilities. Motivation can also be contingent upon an individual's identity and surroundings, which mainly manifests as a gender gap [19]. Females who are more driven by their values may be deterred from a career in STEM to meet the needs of their families, whereas men may be less likely to face this pressure and expectation.…”
