This study examined the learning and study practices of postsecondary American Indian/Alaska Native students attending community colleges in the southwest. Using a survey design, students completed the Kagan Matching Familiar Figures Test, the Schmeck, Ribich, and Ramanaiah Inventory of Learning Processes, and the Weinstein, Palmer, and Schulte Learning and Study Strategies Inventory. Results revealed that students had, at best, average learning and study skill abilities in and outside the classroom. Out of the 14 skills assessed, only four were identified to be at the "moderate or average" ability level. These included information processing, self-testing, use of study aids, methodical study, and elaborative processing. Three of these skill areas bordered "low/moderate" ability. These included level of motivation, ability to select main ideas, and fact retention. Six of these skill areas were identified to be at the "low" ability level. These skills included attitude, use of test strategies, concentration, level of anxiety, time management, and deep processing. Based on the results, recommendations are provided to institutions and faculty for facilitating the improvement of these learning and study strategies.
