Learning orientations of students in an African developing country: Implications for knowledge transfer.

Abstract

This case study investigated the impact of two principle learning orientations of students (grading orientation vs. learning orientation ) In order to evaluate their readiness to make a contribution to address the ever-increasing demands of society. The study revealed that students are aware that a learning orientation is preferred, and that their study behaviour is indeed learning oriented.
