This paraphrase of the ELLI scales is drawn from: Deakin-Crick, R., Broadfood, P., & Claxton, G. (2004). Developing and effective lifelong learning inventory: the ELLI project. Assessment in Education, 11(3), 247–271. Here’s the research that documents the validity and reliability of the instrument: Deakin-Crick, R., & Yu, G. (2008). Assessing learning dispositions: Is the Effective lifelong learning inventory valid and reliable as a measurement tool? Educational Research, 50(4), 387–402.
