Resumo(s)
This paper examines the validity of the Approaches and Study Skills Inventory
for Students—short version (ASSIST; Tait et al. in Improving student learning: Improving
students as learners, 1998), to be used with Portuguese undergraduate students. The
ASSIST was administrated to 566 students, in order to analyse a Portuguese version of this
inventory. Exploratory factor analysis (principal axis factor analysis followed by direct oblimin rotation) reproduced the three main factors that correspond to the original dimensions of the inventory (deep, surface apathetic and strategic approaches to learning). The results are consistent with the background theory on approaches to learning. Additionally, the reliability analysis revealed acceptable internal consistency indexes for the main scales and subscales. This inventory might represent a valuable research tool for the assessment of approaches to learning among Portuguese higher education students.
