Strategies for College Learning – Ch. 2

LCI scale scores that range from 7 to 17 for a certain Pattern. When an individual avoids a Pattern, he or she will feel stress whenever asked to use that Pattern without the benefit of intentional strategies.

A learner whose LCI scale scores fall between 18 to 24 in all four Patterns and can apply each Pattern on a Use as Needed basis.

The LCI scale scores of an individual who uses one or two Patterns at the Use First level and any other combination of Avoid or Use as Needed for the remaining Patterns.

The instrument (a two-part, 28-question, self-report tool with three open-response written questions) that is administered to identify an individual's combination of Learning Patterns.

A record of one's Learning Patterns described in one's own words; a way of translating the Pattern scores into an authentic profile of the learner.

The range or degree of use of each Pattern: Use First (score 35-25), Use as Needed (score 24-18), or Avoid (score 17-7).

An individual's numerical LCI scale scores, ranging from 7 to 35 on each Learning Pattern, that indicate to what degree an individual uses each Pattern. Typically expressed in the following order: Sequence, Precision, Technical Reasoning, and Confluence.

A learner whose LCI scale scores are 25 or more in at least three out of four Patterns.

LCI scale scores that range from 18 to 24 for a certain Pattern.

LCI scale scores that range from 25 to 35 for a certain Pattern. Learners use this Pattern first and begin their learning task relying on it.
