Brief Summary

The quality and quantity of learning are determined by the learning approach adopted by the student. When learning and studying approaches are mentioned, individual differences between learners' learning intentions during a learning situation or while studying and what types of strategies are used to achieve these intentions come to mind. These learning approaches are thought to determine the quality of learning outcomes. Many measurement tools have been developed to quantitatively measure learning and studying approaches. These developed tools are mostly applied at the higher education level. Among the purposes of using measurement tools; These include identifying low-performing students through screening, evaluating and identifying areas of difficulty that require prediction or improvement plans, evaluating before and after academic improvement programs, and raising awareness and advising students on their academic strengths and weaknesses. When multidimensional measurement tools that evaluate students' study approaches and skills are examined, it is seen that the use of the Approaches and Study Skills Inventory for Students (ASSIST) tool has become widespread in recent years. This vehicle; It has been reported that it measures learning strategies and skills for different students and is sensitive enough to distinguish between learning types. The Portuguese, Norwegian and Danish versions of the survey, which was developed in English and intended to be translated into Turkish as the Study Skills and Approaches Scale, have also been translated, its psychometric properties have been demonstrated and it has been observed that it is becoming widespread in the literature.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Approaches and Study Skills Inventory for Students

  Approaches and Study Skills Inventory for Students, developed by Tait et al. in 1998, is a 52-item survey that evaluates the learning behaviors of higher education students under the subheadings of deep, superficial and strategic learning. For each item, the participant is asked to mark the option that he/she thinks corresponds to the appropriate option between 0=strongly disagree and 5=strongly agree. Deep learning (article 4-7-9-11-13-17-20-21-23-26-30-33-34-36-39-43-46-47-49-52), surface learning (article 3). -6-8-12-16-19-22-25-29-32-35-38-42-45-48-51), and strategic learning (article 1-2-5-10-14-15-18 -24-27-28-31-37-40-41-44-50). There is no reverse coded item. For the original version of the form, the deep learning score varies between 0-100, and the superficial and strategic learning score varies between 0-80. The short version of the 18-item form selected from the 52-item form will also be examined.

  Baseline

• Participant Information Form

  Participating students will be asked for a nickname they choose, their gender, age, whether they are a physiotherapy and rehabilitation student, what grade they are in, and their current GPA score.

Physiotherapy Students

The population of the research consists of undergraduate students of the physiotherapy and rehabilitation department.

Interventions

Translating the Questionnaire into Turkish and Related Processes OTHER

The first step is the translation from the original language to the other language. The ideal target in the translation phase is to use people who are familiar with the structure of the original language and who are familiar with the language. Two forward translation and one reverse translation methods will be applied after obtaining the written permission of the authors. After the completion of this phase, the terminological differences arising from the translators in the translation process from the original language to Turkish will be collected and discussed on the questions. The cultural adaptation study will be terminated by determining the equivalence between the Turkish version of the inventory and the English original. The final version of the questionnaire and the necessary changes will be arranged specific to the investigator's society and the authors of the original questionnaire will be consulted and the questionnaire will be finalized.

Physiotherapy Students

Validity OTHER

The inventory will be applied by face-to-face technique and convergent validity will be evaluated. Construct validity will be evaluated through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Coefficients of fit will be calculated.

Physiotherapy Students

Reliability OTHER

The reliability of the items will be tested with Cronbach alpha. Test-retest reliability will be measured by ICC.
