Abstract

This article reports on a study investigating the relationship between university students’ self-reported use and application of learning and study strategies and student success indicators (timeframe and student type, namely low-performing, average-performing, or high-performing). Participants were 1 439 engineering students enrolled for academic studies at a South African University of Technology (UoT). Data were collected using the Learning and Study Strategies Inventory (LASSI) and academic performance data, obtained via the university’s student management information system. The LASSI provides diagnostic information about students’ self-perception regarding their study skills and learning orientations, assists educators in designing interventions for students to improve their skills, and aids in predicting academic achievement. Researchers have questioned the long-term correlation between LASSI scores and academic performance. Our results confirm that time spent in the tertiary environment and student type (low-, average- or high-performing) should be considered when using LASSI as a diagnostic tool. The usefulness of using the Credit Accumulation Rate (CAR), a measure that combines time spent in the tertiary environment and academic performance, is introduced and explored. Some novel trends emerged by investigating the relationships between CAR and LASSI scores. Based on our results, we make recommendations for identifying students at risk for academic failure and propose avenues for further research.

学习和学习策略清单对南非科技大学工程专业学生成功的影响

摘要

本文报告了一项研究,该研究调查了大学生自我报告的学习和学习策略的使用和应用与学生成功指标(时间框架和学生类型,即表现不佳、表现中等或表现优异)之间的关系。参与者是在南非理工大学 (UoT) 就读的 1 439 名工程专业学生。数据是使用学习和学习策略清单 (LASSI) 和学业成绩数据收集的,这些数据是通过大学的学生管理信息系统获得的。LASSI 提供有关学生对学习技能和学习方向的自我认知的诊断信息,帮助教育工作者设计干预措施以提高学生的技能,并有助于预测学业成绩。研究人员质疑 LASSI 分数与学业成绩之间的长期相关性。我们的结果证实,在使用 LASSI 作为诊断工具时,应考虑在高等教育环境和学生类型(低、中或高表现)中花费的时间。介绍并探讨了使用学分累积率 (CAR) 的有用性,这是一种结合在高等教育环境中花费的时间和学业成绩的衡量标准。通过调查 CAR 和 LASSI 分数之间的关系,出现了一些新趋势。根据我们的结果,我们为识别有学业失败风险的学生提出建议,并提出进一步研究的途径。我们的结果证实,在使用 LASSI 作为诊断工具时,应考虑在高等教育环境和学生类型(低、中或高表现)中花费的时间。介绍并探讨了使用学分累积率 (CAR) 的有用性,这是一种结合在高等教育环境中花费的时间和学业成绩的衡量标准。通过调查 CAR 和 LASSI 分数之间的关系,出现了一些新趋势。根据我们的结果,我们为识别有学业失败风险的学生提出建议,并提出进一步研究的途径。我们的结果证实,在使用 LASSI 作为诊断工具时,应考虑在高等教育环境和学生类型(低、中或高表现)中花费的时间。介绍并探讨了使用学分累积率 (CAR) 的有用性,这是一种结合在高等教育环境中花费的时间和学业成绩的衡量标准。通过调查 CAR 和 LASSI 分数之间的关系,出现了一些新趋势。根据我们的结果,我们为识别有学业失败风险的学生提出建议,并提出进一步研究的途径。通过调查 CAR 和 LASSI 分数之间的关系,出现了一些新趋势。根据我们的结果,我们为识别有学业失败风险的学生提出建议,并提出进一步研究的途径。通过调查 CAR 和 LASSI 分数之间的关系,出现了一些新趋势。根据我们的结果,我们为识别有学业失败风险的学生提出建议,并提出进一步研究的途径。
