Abstract
This study investigated the relationships among the scales of the Inventory of Learning Processes, differences between high and low academic achievers, and differences between deep and shallow processors on learning strategies and academic achievement for 158 undergraduate college students. Significant correlations among the scales were noted, significant differences between high and low academic achievers appeared on Deep Processing and Fact Retention scales, and differences between deep and shallow processors were noted on Elaborative Processing, Fact Retention, Methodical Study scales, and GPA. Suggestion was made for offering strategy-training programs for students.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
