Abstract | This paper reports a study of initial approaches to studying by students enrolled in two open access programs of the University of Southern Queensland (USQ). The potential importance of students' initial approaches to the work of studying, in terms of student engagement and progression in a higher education study program, is briefly discussed. The results of two studies, one with award diploma students and the other with non-award enabling program students, are compared. Results obtained from the earlier of the two studies (with non-award program students) influenced teaching staff to review and modify the curriculum and delivery of the program. This paper presents a test of this assumption. Students' self-reported data on their study-behaviour patterns within four categories of approaches to studying in higher education were used in the two studies. The paper concludes with a brief discussion of implications for curriculum that appear |
