Study Skills Assessment Questionnaire

The Study Skills Assessment Questionnaire measures the habitual study practices, time management, concentration, and learning motivation of students. Originating from the foundational Survey of Study Habits and Attitudes (Brown & Holtzman, 1964) and refined in contemporary versions, the SSAQ identifies whether students employ evidence-based study techniques (spaced practice, self-testing, active recall) or ineffective strategies (cramming, passive rereading). This information is invaluable for academic support professionals designing skill-building interventions tailored to student needs.
