Measuring the affective and cognitive growth of regularly admitted and developmental studies students using thelearning and study strategies inventory(LASSI)

Self-Regulated Learning Strategies And Pre-University Math Performance Of International Students In Malaysia

“…The two subscales were also reported to be significantly correlated with students' overall academic performance measured by semester performance (Nist et al, 1990 For international students in the pre-university program, Attitude and Test Strategies subscales were significant and positive predictors of the math performance. Test Strategies subscale also appeared to be significantly and positively correlated with GPA among freshman international students in Stoynoff's study (1997).…”

“…Nist et al (1990) reported that motivation, anxiety, and self-testing were correlated moderately with postsecondary students' semester performance. Hulick and Higginson (1989) reported that college freshmen who possessed higher level in attitude, motivation, anxiety, concentration, information processing and test strategies achieved higher grade point average (GPA) at the completion of their first year.…”

The learning and study strategies of college students with ADHD

“…Clearly something is going on with the ADHD population that mediates or moderates the pattern found in the other two groups. Other work utilizing the LASSI suggests that this measure may not work as well in students with lower academic ability (Nist, Mealey, Simpson, & Kroc, 1990;Prevatt, Petscher, Proctor, Hurst, & Adams, 2006). Further work is needed to better understand variables affecting the ADHD population that may make standard measures of learning and study strategies less useful.…”

Underprepared Community College Students: Characteristics, Persistence, and Academic Success

“…Student factors associated with lower achievement at varied educational levels include lower ability, poor study strategies (Levin & Levin, 1991;Nist, Mealey, Simpson, & Kroc, 1990;Scott & Robbins, 1985), external locus of control (Findley & Cooper, 1983;Gadzella, Williamson, & Ginther, 1985;McKeachie, Pintrich, Lin, & Smith, 1986;Nelson & Phares, 1971;Ogden & Trice, 1986), and lower self-esteem (Gadzella et al, 1985;House, 1992;Jones & Watson, 1990;Tomlinson, 1989).…”
