The purpose of this study was to investigate the students’ learning approaches and examine its related factors. There were 1,817 students participating in this study at private technological university. The scale of learning approaches was utilized for collecting empirical data. The independent-samples, dependent-samples t-test and one-way analysis of variance were used to analyze the collected data. This study found that students preferred to take a deep learning approach. Furthermore, they also tended to adopt deep learning strategy. In the aspect of motive, they showed a tendency for higher surface motives. Besides, different gender, the educational systems, grades, college, and learning performances of undergraduate students had the significant impact on their learning approaches. Based on these results, this study suggests that teachers should motivate students to deepen their learning motivation, and guide students to adopt deep learning strategies. Teachers should counsel students with weak academic performance to use a deep learning approach. In the future, the inter-institutional research can be conducted with other universities, to employ longitudinal study tracking the development of students’ learning approaches in different grades as well as explore the impact of other factors on learning approaches, and the impact of learning approaches on learning outcomes. |
