University Students' Representations of Study.

Volet, Simone E.; Lawrence, Jeanette A.

Australian Journal of Education, v32 n2 p139-55 Aug 1988

Five women university students' representations of their learning were analyzed and related to their on-going adaptations to course demands. Representations involved their goals, working plans and perceptions of difficulties. Qualitative data from students' accounts were tabulated schematically in relation to Duncker's concepts of productive heuristics. (Author/MLW)
