Abstract

Computer Literacy courses are offered by many colleges and universities and are often taken by students from various academic majors. Since the course may be unlike others in their major, students may be unfamiliar with strategies that may be useful for learning these concepts. Participants (n=291) completed a survey consisting of course-related selected-response questions, questions adopted from the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ), and openended questions focusing on their study habits. Results indicated several strategies strongly related to success as indicated by course grade.
