Learning Strategy Scale to Measure the Impact of Interventions targeting Self-regulated Learning.

We present an instructional tool based on the Success Through Self-Regulated Learning framework that enables instructors to create short prompts to target various aspects of self-regulated learning. These aspects include motivation, management, metacognition, cognitive strategies, and course content. In this talk, we present an instrument we have developed to assess the efficacy of this type of self-regulated learning intervention: the Perceived Utility value of Learning Strategies Scale (PULSS). This scale has three theoretical factors: organizational, self-testing, and peer-learning strategies although this model demonstrated a moderate fit to the data. To understand the scale better we looked at initial differences between residential and online students. We find that students in the online class value and use peer learning strategies less than students in in-person classes.
