| Summary: | The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of targeted study skills interventions on the learning strategies of students enrolled in a southwest university study skills course. Specifically, one major reason for conducting this study was to determine if students' use of learning strategies would increase after exposure to individually targeted web-based instructional modules. This study also examined the relationships of specific demographics on students' use of study skills. There were 320 students from thirteen classes who participated in the study. Participants were divided into an intervention and a comparison group. The Learning and Study Skills Inventory (LASSI; Weinstein, 1987) was administered to both groups. Based on individual strengths and weaknesses as indicated on the LASSI, participants in the intervention group were assigned targeted web-based instructional modules to complete. These modules, based on the ten LASSI scales (LASSI; Weinstein, 2001) were directly related to the constructs being assessed by the LASSI scales. Multivariate Analyses of Covariance were used to determine if there were differences in LASSI scores between the intervention group and the comparison group. Results indicated that individually targeted web-based instructional modules used as a study skills intervention are effective in increasing reported study skill use. |
