Abstract: | Relationships between approaches to learning, as measured by the Study Process Questionnaire (SPQ), prior knowledge of subject
area, and performance on a multiple-choice test following a 15 × 2 hour unit in basic psychology were investigated. Subjects
were 105 first year tertiary students, of mean age 19.9 years, and predominantly female (82.9%). Approaches to learning were
unrelated to assessment performance, and prior knowledge did not relate to a deep approach although it did predict performance.
The findings were interpreted in terms of additional elements in the teaching-learning process, and the role of the SPQ was
seen as a stimulus to thinking about that process. |
