Segeritz, Micha; Pant, Hans Anand – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2013
This article summarizes the key finding of a study that (a) tests the measurement invariance (MI) of the popular Students' Approaches to Learning instrument (Programme for International Student Assessment [PISA]) across ethnic/cultural groups within a country and (b) discusses implications for research focusing on the role of affective measures in…

Reliability, Structure, and Correlates of Learning and Study Strategies Inventory Scores.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Melancon, Janet G. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2002
Studied the reliability, structure, and criterion-related validity of the Learning and Study Strategies Inventory (LASSI; C. Weinstein, 1987) using data from 502 university students. Results suggest that the LASSI may not measure the postulated 10 scales typically used to report results. (SLD)

Reliability and Construct Validity of the Learning Style Questionnaire.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Marshall, Jon C.; Merritt, Sharon L. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1986
The Learning Style Questionnaire is a new 40-item semantic differential rating scale designed to assess individual learning styles within an experiential learning model. It was administered to 543 undergraduates. Results indicated acceptable reliability. Least squares factor analysis supported its construct validity. (Author/GDC)

Cano, Francisco – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2006
This study explores the latent structure of scores on the Learning and Study Strategies Inventory (LASSI) and analyzes the relationship between this structure and students' academic performance. Two independent samples of college freshmen (n = 527) and seniors (n = 429) completed the LASSI. Data analysis of the first sample revealed acceptable…

Stevens, Tara; Tallent-Runnels, Mary K. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2004
The purpose of this study was to investigate the latent structure of the Learning and Study Strategies Inventory-High School (LASSI-HS) through confirmatory factor analysis and factorial invariance models. A simple modification of the three-factor structure was considered. Using a larger sample, cross-validation was completed and the equality of…

The Development and Validation of Scores on the Mathematics Information Processing Scale (MIPS).
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bessant, Kenneth C. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1997
This study reports on the development and psychometric properties of a new 87-item Mathematics Information Processing Scale that explores learning strategies, metacognitive problem-solving skills, and attentional deployment. Results with 340 college students support the use of the instrument, for which factor analysis identified five theoretically…
