2. A B C TOTALS

3. ‘ A’ Scale Score Strategic Orientation This is a score out of 24 on ‘Achieving Orientation’. This indicates competitiveness, well organised study methods, and hope for success. Students who score high on this scale are oriented towards doing well, whatever this involves. They tend to be academically successful. ‘ B’ Scale Score Reproducing Orientation This is a score out of 24 on ‘Reproducing Orientation’. This indicates a surface approach to learning. Students who score high on this scale attempt to memorise subject matter and are not interested in studying a subject for its own sake but only out of a concern to pass or gain qualifications. They keep narrowly to the syllabus as laid down in course descriptions and do not follow up interests of their own. Despite their concern to pass they tend to do badly. ‘ C’ Scale Score Meaning Orientation This is a score out of 24 on ‘Meaning Orientation’. This indicates a deep approach to learning: the intention to make sense of the subject, an interest in the subject itself, and a desire to learn. Students who score high on this scale follow up their own interests even if these are outside those parts of the course which are assessed. They tend to do well.
