Predicting Student Success from the Lassi for Learning Online (LLO)

Abstract

This study tested the degree to which subscales of the LASSI for Learning Online (LLO) (Weinstein & Palmer, 2006), a measure of learning strategies and study skills, predict student success in the form of passing grades, using a combination of large training (N = 4,409) and cross-validation (N = 3,203) samples. Discriminant function analysis against student success (GPA = 2.0 in Term 3) resulted in an overall hit-rate of 67%, and specificity and sensitivity of 70% and 60%, respectively. The present study also provides the first empirical evidence reported for the predictive validity for the online adaptation of the LASSI.

Self-regulated learning strategies & academic achievement in online higher education learning environments: A systematic review

“…The majority of studies were prospective (Carson, 2011;ChanLin, 2012;Cho & Shen, 2013;Hodges & Kim, 2010;Johnson et al, 2009;Michinov et al, 2011;Puzziferro, 2008), followed by experimental (Chang, 2007(Chang, , 2010; Van den Boom et al, 2007) and cross-sectional (Klingsieck et al, 2012;Wang & Wu, 2008).…”

“…The most popular measure used to assess SRL strategy was the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) with nine studies (Chang, 2007(Chang, , 2010Cho & Shen, 2013;Hodges & Kim, 2010;Johnson et al, 2009;Klingsieck et al, 2012;Puzziferro, 2008; Van den Boom et al, 2007;Wang & Wu, 2008), followed by three studies that measured Learning Management System (LMS) logs (ChanLin, 2012;Johnson et al, 2009;Michinov et al, 2011), one study that measured the Learning and Study Strategies Inventory (LASSI; ChanLin, 2012), and LASSI for online learning (Carson, 2011) and one study that used the Tuckman procrastination scale (Michinov et al, 2011). See Table 1.…”

“…A full list of included (n = 12) and excluded studies (n = 118) with reasons for exclusions are found in Tables 1 and 2, respectively. One study (Carson, 2011) was included twice as two different online student cohorts were included in the study. Each of these student cohorts were analysed separately.…”

Previsão de desempenho de alunos baseados em construtos de autorregulação da aprendizagem

“…A maioria dos trabalhos são estudos prospectivos (Carson, 2011);(ChanLin, 2012); (Cho & Shen, 2013); (Hodges & Kim, 2010); (Johnson, Gueutal, & Falbe, 2009); (Michinov, Brunot, Le Bohec, Juhel, & Delaval, 2011), seguidos por estudos experimentais (Chang, 2010); (Van den Boom, Paas, & van Merriënboer, 2007) e transversais (Klingsieck, Fries, Horz, & Hofer, 2012); (Wang, Shannon, & Ross, 2013).…”

“…Em relação aos estudos prospectivos, o trabalho de Carson (2011) analisou o grau de sucesso de estudantes aplicando a escala de aprendizagem online LASSI (LLO). O autor fornece evidências de previsibilidade de desempenho, baseado nos itens da escala LASSI com uma acurácia global de 67%.…”
