Description

A questionnaire developed by Anthony Grasha and Sheryl Riechmann that measures six student learning-style orientations based on attitudes toward course content, teachers, peers, and classroom procedures.

Components

• Grasha-Riechmann six student learning styles classification: The Student Learning Style Questionnaire developed by Grasha and Riechmann isolates six learning styles in pairs of two: competitive, collaborative, avoidant, participant, dependent, and independent. These are based on students' attitudes toward learning, views of teachers and peers, and reactions to classroom procedures. The scheme reflects orientation toward course content, toward teacher and peers, and classification based on aspirations and motives. (Bue (1979))
