Leonard, I think these are questions that require qualitative analysis, not just quantitative (although quantitative analysis can reveal larger trends). How would you determine the answers to this question? What is the research design? We have to be careful that when we ask a question that we don't answer it simply with anecdotal guesstimate. (Although others would say that qualitative measures are guilty of just that, with which I do not agree, but that was another argument that Nic Voge handled much more professionally and articulately than I can.) I've written and erased a second paragraph to this several times because it's too early in the day for me to start expounding on possible research designs off the cuff here. :) Good luck with finding answers!

Geddes Sent: Wednesday, June 15, 2005 3:17 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: A Question Greetings Learning Assistance Professionals, I am compiling information for a resource I am working on. Your response to the following question is greatly appreciated. What percentage of the academic problems of the students that you service are a result of an inability to manage their learning, as opposed to an inability to learn? (Keep in mind that by "manage their learning" I am referring to their ability to take responsibility for their learning, organize material in a productive manner, gauge and assess their learning ,and finally, detect and correct problems within their learning. I am not merely referring to time management.) Please estimate using the following percentages (feel free to expound on your answer as well). * 25% * 50% * 75% * 90% Lastly, does anyone know any resources that speak to these issues?
