Patterns of Adaptive Learning Scales (PALS)

The series of revised scales, Patterns of Adaptive Learning Scales, are used to investigate the relation between a learning environment and a student’s motivation, affect, and behavior. The subscales are separated into a Student scale and a teacher scale. The student scale is specifically evaluates student outlook on goals set by teacher, goals set in the classroom, parents or home life, and personal achievement. Teacher scales evaluate their outlook on goals set by school, teaching efficiency, and goalrelated approaches to teaching.
