Academic Persistence Scale Test - Symptoms and Signs
This brief self-report measure evaluates a student’s tendency to persist with academic tasks when work becomes difficult. The Academic Persistence Scale is intended to characterize effortful engagement, follow-through, and attitudes toward working through challenges.
The measure includes 7 items and typically takes about 2 minutes to complete. It can be used as a screening tool to inform discussions about academic motivation and areas where additional support may be helpful. Authors: Albert Bandura; Carol S. Dweck.
Scores from the Academic Persistence Scale should be interpreted in the context of other information (e.g., classroom performance, teacher or caregiver observations) and are not, by themselves, diagnostic.
