This study was undertaken to examine the relationship between self‐reported and pre‐post measures of academic growth. Self‐reported and pre‐post measures were obtained in three areas, simple cognitive, complex cognitive, and attitudinal. The subjects were 162 graduate students enrolled in six different graduate courses. Partial correlations relating self‐reported measures of growth to posttest performance on measures of achievement (simple and complex cognitive)and attitude, controlling for pretest performance indicated that self‐reported measures of academic growth were primarily related to growth in attitudes toward the subject matter of a course.
