Reliability of second-order factor of a revised two-factor study process questionnaire (R-SPQ-2F) among university students in Malaysia

The approach students use during the learning process is important in determining the outcome they obtained from any learning activities. Two learning approaches using (SAL) learning theory, were identified namely surface and deep approaches. This study aimed to validate the Revised Two Factor Study...
