Using the Learning and Study Strategies Inventory Scores as Additional Predictors of Student Academic Performance

Abstract

This study focuses on the usefulness of the Learning and Study Strategies Inventory (LASSI) in predicting student academic performance. It examines whether LASSI scores enhance the accuracy of traditional predictors, namely SAT/ACT scores and high school rank. Findings indicated a slight, but not significant, increase in the predictability of student academic performance when LASSI scores, particularly the subscales of Motivation and Time Management, were considered along with traditional predictors.
