Summary

Introduction

Studies show that many academic skills can affect the academic achievement of medical students, but research in this area usually examines each of the academic skills separately. Because of the importance of these skills, a precise measurement tool is required. Purpose: The present study was conducted with the aim of constructing an assessment scale for students' academic skills. The theoretical foundations of this study included theories of learning approaches and of self-directed and self-regulated learning strategies. Based on these theories, primary types of academic skills were identified. Psychometric properties were calculated, including content validity, construct validity based on exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, and reliability based on Cronbach's alpha coefficient
