The Development of a Co-Operative, Competitive, and Individualised Learning Preference Scale for Students.

Owens, L.; Straton, R. G.

British Journal of Educational Psychology, v50 pt2 p147-61 Jun 1980

The Learning Preference Scale-Students (LPSS) was developed with 1,643 Sydney, Australia, pupils. Internal consistency, test-retest stability, subscale intercorrelations, and factor analysis show that the LPSS has considerable promise as a valid and reliable instrument. Results showed clear and significant sex differences in preferences for grades 4-11. (Author/SJL)
