- Abstract
This research examines relationships between college students' learning and grade orientations and a variety of academic related variables. Online surveys were completed by 115 college students at a small Midwestern liberal arts university. Results revealed that those with a high learning orientation had significantly better reported time management skills, academic self-efficacy, academic self-regulation, and study habits compared to those with low learning orientation. Additionally, faculty support significantly predicted more learning oriented attitudes and less grade oriented behaviors. Finally, students who reported higher learning orientation attitudes were significantly more likely to use traditional peer tutoring than students who did not receive tutoring. These findings can be used to consider designing class activities to encourage learning orientation beliefs and behaviors in college students.
