Abstract

Students' academic success reaches its peak when they use study strategies correctly. The objective of study was to survey the use of study strategies and its correlation with educational status in paramedical students. This research was a descriptive-analytical study. The 220 students of laboratory sciences, operating room technology, radiology technology and anesthesiology were studied at Paramedical School. The research tool was a researcher-made questionnaire consisting of two parts included demographic information and the second part was related to the study strategies, which included 20 questions that were planned in the 5-point Likert scale. The data obtained from the questionnaire were analyzed by SPSS-22 software. In the result, the findings of the study showed that the comparison of the mean status of study strategies in terms of economic status was statistically significant (p=0.021) so that students with poor economic status had lower reading skills. In conclusion, it seems that it is necessary to introduce students with study skills upon entering the university through workshops or training courses in order to witness students' academic progress at higher level.
