Focusing on first year assessment: Surface or deep approaches to learning?

Abstract: This paper investigates the assessment and learning approaches that some first year students employ to assist them in their transition into their first year of study and extends our previous work on first year student engagement and timely academic support (Penn-Edwards & Donnison, 2011). It is situated within the First Year transition and student engagement literature and specifically speaks to concepts of learning within that body of literature. In this paper we argue that while students are in the transitio… Show more

“…Approaches to study represent the general process a student engages in everyday academic learning (Entwistle, 2007). Based on the past 40 years of research, three approaches to study in the tertiary environment have been identified: a deep, a strategic and a surface approach (Biggs & Tang, 2007;Donnison & Penn-Edwards, 2012). These approaches to study have also been found among occupational therapy students (Svid en, 2000).…”

“…Eles frequentavam os cursos de Alimentos (20%), Biotecnologia (20%), Farmácia (20%), Meio-Ambiente (20%) e Química (20%). No sentido de hipoteticamente aumentar a variabilidade das respostas dos participantes entrevistados, tentou-se diversificá-los no que diz respeito ao sucesso escolar, considerando que esse tende a variar com a motivação para a aprendizagem (DONNISON; EDWARDS, 2012;GIJBELS et al, 2005;VALADAS, 2014): 13 foram os alunos do curso com as médias escolares mais elevadas no período anterior (M=8,2 em uma escala de 0 a 10) e sete foram os alunos do curso com as médias escolares mais reduzidas no mesmo período (M=4,5).…”

“…A motivação instrumental para a aprendizagem refere-se a uma intenção de evitamento do fracasso, por meio de uma correspondência mínima às exigências, com reduzido investimento de energia e de tempo, visto que é dado pouco valor e significado ao conteúdo da aprendizagem, que é tido como desinteressante (DONNISON; PENN-EDWARDS, 2012). O conteúdo a ser aprendido é tido como imposto externamente, sem relação com os interesses pessoais e proporcionando pouca satisfação (DUARTE, 2002).…”
