text: "The purpose of the research was to develop and validate an instrument for
the assessment of attitudes towards the study environment in higher education
contexts. The questionnaire is designed to measure students' attitudes towards
two particular objects: the university (or Higher Education Institution) and the
process of studying. Five studies at two different universities were conducted
to develop and validate the Attitudes towards the Study Environment Questionnaire
(ASEQ). In total, 1640 students filled in the questionnaire. Reliability tests
and exploratory factor analysis as well as confirmatory factor analysis showed
satisfactory psychometric characteristics of the ASEQ. Each part of the questionnaire
is internally consistent and construct validity of the scales is supported by
correlations with other constructs as assumed by current theories: Positive attitudinal
constructs (normative behavior, autonomy, joy, self-efficacy, and task value)
are positively related to intrinsic motivation and the expected study performance
while anxiety is negatively related to these constructs. \r\nSince attitudes towards
the study situation are connected to student engagement and motivation, the study
contributes to the theory of student learning by providing a validated instrument
to assess attitudes. Thus, the ASEQ can support further research on student performance
and development by providing an instrument for the hitherto neglected but nonetheless
extremely relevant domain of attitudes. Also, the questionnaire can be used as
a diagnostic instrument for higher education faculty and administration to trace
students' attitudinal development over time - a factor of prime importance for
student socialization during the introductory phase of studying."

text: 'Over the last two decades, the discussion about innovating teaching and learning
at higher education institutions (HEI) has concentrated on various core concepts:
such as an increased focus on learning outcomes as competencies and more student-centered
teaching. These concepts form part of what Barr and Tagg (1995) have termed the
"shift from teaching to learning". However, very few approaches have been proposed
so far in the scholarly literature on how to actually transfer such normative
concepts into the practice of teaching and learning at HEI. In order to sustainably
develop the practices of teaching and learning at HEI, it is necessary to comprehend
the prerequisites for educational development. The construct of "learning culture"
can be seen as a possible concept to explicate these prerequisites. The aims of
this study are to (a) propose an institution-wide approach to educational development
at HEI and to (b) present a comprehensive instrument to diagnose learning culture
as a starting point for educational development. The findings of the study include
a first version of the Learning Culture Inventory for HEI. The students'' version
of the instrument encompasses 12 scales for the individual, 12 for the pedagogical
interactions and 5 for the organizational dimension. The assumed basic factor
structure of the instruments could be confirmed. With the institution-wide approach
to educational development and the Learning Culture Inventory, this study can
provide the basis for sustainable developmental initiatives to innovate teaching
and learning at HEI.'
