Introducing
The Training Place measures online learning ability with the Learning
Orientation Questionnaire (LOQ). It is a 25-item online survey that
identifies an individual’s orientation to learn by looking at the dominant
psychological factors that influence learning. These factors define how
learners want or intend to approach learning – generally or situationally.
These factors consider the learner’s

Additionally, these successful learning attributes provide a model to guide
the design of learning objects, learning environments, and other learning
solutions--with the goal not only to support learning (i.e., achievement of
instructional or performance objectives), but also to help learners improve
online learning ability over time (e.g., goal-setting, problem-solving,
progress monitoring, reflection, task sequencing, etc.). Finally, these
attributes help identify issues that create gaps between actual and
potential learning and performance proficiency
LEARNING ORIENTATIONS
The Learning Orientation Questionnaire identifies four learning
orientations. Depending on the specific learning circumstances, a learner
may cover a full range of one learning orientation or move downwards or
upwards in response to negative or positive responses, conditions,
resources, results, expectations, and experiences.
