As part of our core mission, the Dennis Learning Center team is devoted to the advancement of research that promotes greater knowledge and understanding of college students’ academic success. We strive to maintain an active role in producing prominent, nationally recognized research that promotes theoretical understanding and contributes to the next generation of practical methods and interventions that facilitate the academic success of students at Ohio State and at postsecondary institutions around the nation and the world.
Through the Self-Regulated Learning and College Success Lab at the Dennis Learning Center, faculty, staff, and students are active in conducting research designed to better understand and promote college students’ academic success. This research includes efforts to investigate motivation, self-regulation, learning strategies, procrastination, time management, and other factors that impact students’ engagement and achievement.
