Individual Differences in Study Processes and the Quality of Learning Outcomes.

Biggs, John

Higher Education, v8 n4 p381-94 Jul 1979

The relationship between students' study processes and the structural complexity of their learning is examined. Study processes are viewed in terms of three dimensions and are assessed by a questionnaire. Learning quality is expressed in levels of a taxonomy. A study that relates taxonomic levels and retention to study processes is reported. (Author/JMD)
