Learners Study Orientation, Information Literacy, and Well-being: Measuring Success in Lifelong Learning
Description
In this episode, Zaynab and Yassin explore a research paper comparing four popular questionnaires that measure key competencies in lifelong learning: study orientation, information literacy, and well-being, particularly in medical students. The paper reviews the Learning and Study Strategies Inventory (LASSI), the Medical Nordic Study (MED-NORD), the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ), and the Self-Rating Scale of Self-Directed Learning (SRSSDL). Our hosts break down each tool’s approach to assessing these crucial competencies, their unique strengths, and the gaps left by each. The episode concludes by imagining what the ultimate lifelong learning assessment might look like, sparking reflection on how to best support self-directed, successful learners in an increasingly complex world.
