The relationship between study strategies and academic performance.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To investigate if and to what extent the Learning and Study Strategy Inventory (LASSI) and the Self-Directed Learning Readiness Scale (SDLRS) yield academic performance predictors; To examine if LASSI findings are consistent with previous research.

Methods

Medical school students completed the LASSI and SDLRS before their first and second years (n = 168). Correlational and regression analyses were used to determine the predictive value of the LASSI and the SDLRS. Paired t-tests were used to test if the two measurement points differed. Bivariate correlations and R²s were compared with five other relevant studies.

Results

The SDLRS was moderately correlated with all LASSI subscales in both measures (r₍₁₅₂₎ =.255, p=.001) to (r_(152)<
