Resumen
TAVARES, José et al. Atitudes e estratégias de aprendizagem em estudantes do Ensino Superior: estudo na Universidade dos Açores . Aná. Psicológica [online]. 2003, vol.21, n.4, pp.475-484. ISSN 0870-8231.
The authors summarize some findings from an exploratory study dealing with the cognitive development of 370 college students, from four different major areas, enrolled in courses offered in two separate campuses of the University of the Azores, Portugal (Ponta Delgada and Angra do Heroísmo). In this particular study, students' attitudes, approaches to studying and effective study habits were assessed, using the Questionnaire of Attitudes and Study Habits - QACE (Bessa & Tavares, 1998), with the aim of determining which cognitive, metacognitive and affective variables control student engagement in academic activities and, therefore, influence decision-making about what to do (attitude) and how to (strategy) achieve proposed learning tasks. Descriptive and factor analyses were carried out, using SPSS, and results are consistent with those of similar studies on this issue conducted in Portuguese universities and elsewhere.
