Subclaims¶

q2 i? LASSI learning strategy scores improved significantly from pre-test to post-test over the 14-week course (F(1, 99) = 68.02, p = .001). → Bowering 2017 q2 i? Nine of the ten LASSI subscales improved significantly over the 14-week period; attitude, which had the highest pre-test score, did not. → Bowering 2017 (2)

Evidence¶

Bowering 2017¶

Bowering, E. R., Mills, J., & Merritt, A. (2017). Learning How to Learn: A Student Success Course for At Risk Students. The Canadian Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 8(3). http://ir.lib.uwo.ca/cjsotl_rcacea/vol8/iss3/12

q2 · i? · design · r2

Pre-post comparison of LASSI scores for 100 undergraduates on academic probation who completed the Student Success Course. The article reports the total score rose from "pre-test (M = 23.96, SE = .34) to post-test ( M = 26.89, SE = .33)" with a significant F test; will, skill, and self-regulation each also improved significantly.

"Overall, the LASSI learning strategies improved from pre-test (M = 23.96, SE = .34) to post-test ( M = 26.89, SE = .33), F(1, 99) = 68.02, p = .001"

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Subscale analysis of the same pre-post LASSI data, reported with percentile scores that ranged from 21 (test strategies) to 50 (attitude) at pre-test and from 37 to 68 at post-test. The article states "Nine of the ten subscales improved significantly" with attitude the exception.

"Nine of the ten subscales improved significantly over the brie f (14 week ) time-period (the exception was attitude, which demonstrated the highest pre-test score)"
