Strengths

The Self-Perceived Level of Development of the “Learning to Learn” Competence is a self-report survey that measures university students’ perceptions of their development of the “learning to learn” competence. It assesses students’ perceptions of skills related to managing and improving their own learning.

The instrument can be used in higher education research to examine students’ perceived development of learning skills and to evaluate or inform efforts to support these skills. It was developed specifically for the university context by Muñoz-San Roque and colleagues (2016). The instrument was developed in Spanish and has not been established for use with elementary or secondary students.
