“…However, studies about learning among post graduate students are lacking especially on their learning strategies or approaches (Pereles et al, 2020;Tareen & Haand, 2020;Zaheer & Hashimi, 2023;Puteh et al, 2022). Past studies also pointed out that post graduate students employ different types of learning approaches in their course of study (Idris et al, 2022;Rajasagaran et al, 2022). As argued by Tareen & Haand (2020); Setiawan (2023), the pandemic of Covid-has changed the way students learn from traditional teaching to online learning.…”

“…Both traditional and online learning require different learning strategies on their end to meet optimum level of learning. Rajasagaran et al (2022), also noted that post graduates students are still lacking in mastering skills in learning strategies, thus number of postgraduate students that did not manage to graduate on time drastically increase every year. A study by Puteh et al (2022), also discovered that post graduate students often fail to benefit from the learning strategies as they repeatedly adopted ineffective strategies when studying and many could not even recognize the use of certain strategies to regulate their learning.…”

Postgraduate studies which include master's and doctoral degree programs in universities allow students to embark on a journey of independent learning and research. Entering higher education, students in particular the postgraduate students in which majority of them are working adult, face the challenge of self-regulating their learning. Despite the extended research conducted investigating the relationship between the use of learning strategies and student academic performance, there is lack of evidence on the use of learning strategies by postgraduate students in Malaysia. This study aims to explore perception of postgraduate students on their use of learning strategies and to ascertain the relationship between the learning strategies. This study employs quantitative approach. Using purposive sampling, a total of 259 participants responded to the survey. The instrument used is a 5 Likert-scale survey and is rooted from Wenden & Rubin (1987). The survey has 4 sections. Section A has 5 items on demographic profile. Section B has 19 items on cognitive components. Section C has 11 items on metacognitive self-evaluation. Section D has 11 items on resource management components. The findings indicated that the postgraduate students' cognitive strategies, metacognitive self-regulated and resource management are high, and all the learning strategies have positive relationship of each other. This explicitly means no one single learning strategy is considered predominant and superior to the other strategies. As this study tested limited variables, it is recommended that future research could focus on thorough profiling analysis. This includes investigating the level of differences of learning strategies utilized by students from different disciplines and mode of study. Moreover, a combination of both quantitative and qualitative analysis would offer richer data that could shed the light of the issue better, and eventually can recommend measures to support the postgraduate students in their academic journey.

“…Hence, language learning strategies for reading skills should be practiced early to enhance their efficiency. Even though substantial academic research has explored language learning strategies in reading skills, there is a gap in the literature on reading strategies among Malaysian primary ESL learners Zano, 2020;Zakaria et al, 2019;Rajasagaran et al, 2022;Lam et al, 2022). Thus, this study presents the most used language learning strategies for reading skills by 45 students from three urban schools located in Selangor and Pahang.…”

Developing reading skills has transformed improvisation in teaching and language learning strategies worldwide. Implementing reading skills in the classroom will further enhance the pupils' learning experience. Studies have researched numerous language learning strategies in secondary and higher education. However, fewer studies have been conducted on the most and least used language learning strategies to support their reading skills at the upper primary English as a Second Language (ESL) level. This study aimed to identify the most employed language learning strategies among the lower primary ESL learners in reading skills. A mixedmethods research design was used in this study with a modified version of the Strategy Inventory for Language Learning instrument. A total of 45 upper primary pupils from three primary schools were selected using purposive sampling. The results highlighted that these pupils prefer memory strategies in their reading. On the other hand, the learners' least effective strategy is the affective learning strategy. Future researchers are encouraged to conduct this research on a larger scale in upper primary to enlighten educators on various language learning strategies in designing the curriculum.
