Paper Abstract:
|
One hundred thirty-two post-secondary students completed surveys soliciting their preferences for traditional or less
traditional learning environments, reasons for their preference, their motivational orientation toward learning, and
learning strategies used. Findings indicated that most students preferred traditional learning environments. This
preference was based on how well the environment matched their personal learning style and engaged them as students.
Discriminant analyses indicated significant differences in motivational orientations and learning strategies; students who
preferred traditional environments showed a mastery goal orientation and greater willingness to apply effort while
learning. Students who preferred less traditional environments presented as more confident that they could manage a
nontraditional class. These findings have implications for understanding students motivation for learning in diverse
learning settings. |
