Abstract
This study tested metacognitive strategies accounted for variance in learning acquisition and retention in an adult basic skills population. The study employed the Learning and Study Strategies Inventory (LASSI) to measure metacognitive strategy use, a standardized, individually-accessed basic skills curriculum, and a valid basic skills performance measurement.
The study population was young adult soldiers stationed in South Carolina, California and Hawaii. Sites selection assured uniformity in testing procedures, curriculum and delivery. Multiple sites assured a variety of soldier career fields for purposes of generalization.
Performance measurements were taken at the beginning of instruction, at the end of instruction and a delayed measurement 60 days following the completion of instruction from 96 students who participated in 80 hours of reading and mathematics instruction. The LASSI was administered prior to the first hour of instruction.
