The Learning Profile, a Screening Instrument for Adults: Development and Validity Studies (Employment, Industrial Training, Adult Education, Vocational)

In adult learning settings, such as adult basic education, vocational training, community colleges, prisons, and industrial training, certain students and trainees may exhibit evidence of learning problems. At present there is no measuring instrument to screen effectively for adult learning problems. The purposes of this dissertation were to develop a screening instrument, Learning Profile (LP), and to conduct three validation studies. These studies compared the performance of the LP to the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) and the Woodcock-Johnson Psycho-Educational Battery (WJPEB).
