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.
