INTRODUCING...
The intentional Learning Orientation Questionnaire (LOQ) helps businesses, government, and academia improve achievements, job performance, lifelong learning, retention rates and productivity. It identifies those at-risk and suggests practical solutions for improvement. The LOQ is a statistically valid and reliable instrument that measures how learners generally and intentionally approach learning (e.g., classroom or online learning ability) and performance. Learning orientations are dispositions to approach, manage, and achieve learning.

DESCRIPTION...
The LOQ is a 25-item online survey that identifies an individual’s orientation to learn by looking at the dominant psychological factors that influence intentional learning and performance. These factors consider the level of the learner's’s

• emotional investment in learning and performance
• strategic self-directedness
• independence or autonomy

These three interrelated factors are successful learning attributes and describe how intentional learners generally want or intend to approach learning situationally. (See descriptions for Key Intentional Learning Attributes).

It is the understanding about learning orientations that sparks the awareness of how individuals experience learning, solve problems, and develop relationships that support learning differently. Additionally, the learning orientation factors provide a model to guide the design of learning environments and learning solutions--with the goal not only to support learning (i.e., achievement of instructional or performance objectives), but also to help learners improve learning ability (including online learning ability) over time. This model also considers successful learning skills, such as goal setting, problem-solving, progress monitoring, reflection, and task sequencing. Finally, these attributes help identify issues that create gaps between

• potential intentional learning and performance proficiency

  and
  

• actual learning and performance proficiency.
