  Student Perceptions of Factors Influencing Tertiary Learning
 
 
Title: Student Perceptions of Factors Influencing Tertiary Learning
Author: Watkins, David
Appeared in: Higher education research & development
Paging: Volume 3 (1984) nr. 1 pages 33-50
Year: 1984
Contents: An interview study about perception of factors involved in tertiary learning of 60 second year students at the Australian National University is reported. Factors which encourage deep rather than surface level processing are highlighted as are problems of transition from school to tertiary learning. An unexpected outcome was that students' responses to probing about the nature of the differences between school and tertiary learning provided evidence of qualitative differences between the way students utilising deep or surface level processing conceive the process of learning itself. This finding has implications both for those attempting to change these students' approach to learning and for the selection of research methods appropriate for this area.
