The phrase "assist questionnaire" is not correct and does not convey a clear meaning in written English.
It may be intended to refer to a questionnaire designed to assist someone, but as it stands, it lacks clarity and context.
Example: "Please fill out the assist questionnaire to help us understand your needs better."
Alternatives: "support questionnaire" or "help questionnaire".
The participants were given the Approaches and Study Skills Inventory for Students (ASSIST) questionnaire.
The ASSIST questionnaire asks students about their study habits, and classifies responses according to the three approaches to learning, i.e., deep, strategic and surface/apathetic.
Similarly in the ASSIST questionnaire, subscale scores were calculated for each approach individually, and the predominant learning approach was calculated using the subscale scores according to protocol.
The data were entered into a SPSS datasheet (SPSS Inc, Chicago, IL) and cumulative scores calculated as instructed in the ASSIST questionnaire.
Pre-clinical and clinical students of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Colombo and postgraduate trainees in Surgery at the National Hospital of Sri Lanka were invited to complete the Approaches and Study Skills Inventory for Students (ASSIST) questionnaire.
The completed ASSIST questionnaire was evaluated by adding the responses across all the items which produced a total scale score which identified whether the students adopted deep, strategic or surface approach during learning.
Objective measurements of the children, schoolbags and other additional items were made, and a researcher assisted questionnaire was completed on arrival at school.
