WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Questionnaire on the Intensity of Determinants of Resistance to Learning Test

Learning Resistance Determinants Severity Questionnaire Test - Symptoms and Signs

academic motivation

This questionnaire is designed to assess factors associated with reluctance to engage in learning and openness to new academic information. The Learning Resistance Determinants Severity Questionnaire provides a brief, structured self-report approach for identifying perceived barriers that may interfere with participation, motivation, and instructional responsiveness.

The measure contains 19 items and typically requires about 4 minutes to complete. Items are intended to capture common attitudinal and situational contributors to learning resistance that may be relevant to educational planning, consultation, or supportive intervention. When interpreted in context, the Learning Resistance Determinants Severity Questionnaire can help clarify targets for addressing engagement-related obstacles (e.g., classroom climate, instructional fit, or student readiness).
