During 1999, using students from Monash and elsewhere, a set of potential inventory scales were developed. These scales were intended as a means for students to report on the learning and study processes that they evoked in their mathematics studies. In first semester this year those scales were trailed across a sample of five first year subjects at Monash. The purpose was to refine further those inventory scales, and to test their capability to predict eventual mathematics performance, especially in detecting early those students potentially at risk of failure. The seminar will report on the findings from this recent work.
