ASSESSING STUDY APPROACHES IN SWEDEN

Research into how Swedish students learn has mainly been based on qual itative methods. Ln this paper we report evidence of the appropriatene ss of a Sweden version of the Biggs' Study Process Questionnaire for 1 49 Swedish students in education. The questionnaire's scales were mode rately internally consistent and showed the expected underlying factor structure. Scores on the scales correlated as predicted with a measur e of self-esteem. Possible uses of this questionnaire with Swedish stu dents are discussed.
