Description
A study of the research and theory in the psychology of learning, cognition, and motivation;
factors that impact learning, and application of learning strategies. Theoretical models of
strategic learning, cognition, and motivation serve as the conceptual basis for the introduction of
college-level student academic strategies. Students use assessment instruments (e.g., learning
inventories) to help them identify their own strengths and weaknesses as strategic learners.
Students are ultimately expected to integrate and apply the learning skills discussed across their
own academic programs and become effective and efficient learners. Students developing these
skills should be able to continually draw from the theoretical models they have learned.
