The aim of this study was to investigate the approaches toward learning of undergraduate Physiotherapy students in a PBl module to enhance facilitation of learning at the Stellenbosch University, Division of Physiotherapy in South Africa. This quantitative, descriptive study utilized the revised Two-factor Study Process Questionnaire (r-SPQ-2f) to evaluate the study cohorts’ approaches toward learning in the module. results of the data instruments were analysed statistically and discussed in a descriptive manner. There were a statistically significant greater number of students who adopted a deep approach toward learning at the commencement of the academic year. Students showed a trend toward an increase in their intrinsic interest in the learning material as the module progressed. Students in the Applied Physiotherapy module (ATP) started to shift their focus from a surface learning approach to a deep learning approach. further research is needed to determine the long-term changes in approach toward learning and the possible determinants of these changes. This can be done in conjunction with the implementation of quality assurance mechanisms for learning material and earlier preparation of students for the change in the learning environment.

ABSTRACT Learning strategies or commonly known as learning approaches are the intentions and motivations of individuals and the use of appropriate strategies when dealing with the learning environment. In general, learning strategies can be divided into two categories, namely a deep approach and a surface approach. A deep approach is characterized by a desire to understand the material so as to produce good quality learning outcomes. A student who uses an in-depth approach has the intention to understand learning material and is motivated by an interest in learning material. Conversely, a surface approach is characterized by a desire to achieve minimal results with minimal effort resulting in low quality learning outcomes. The superficial approach is related to various forms of rote learning, with fear of failure as the dominant motivation. Therefore, the learning approach can influence learning outcomes. One of the learning outcomes assessed is the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) Student Competency Test for Doctor Professional Programs (UKMPPD). The purpose of this study is to look at the effect of the learning strategies and OSCE UKMPPD graduation period of May 2018 and August 2018 in medical profession students of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences University of Jambi (FKIK UNJA). The research method is descriptive analytic with cross-sectional approach. The population is FKIK  UNJA medical profession students who participated in the OSCE UKMPPD for the period of May 2018 and August 2018 as many as 59 students .The sample is the entire population (total sampling). Student learning approach data obtained by using the questionnaire "Revised Study Process Questionnaire 2 Factors (R-SPQ-F2). UKMPPD OSCE graduation data is the official UKMPPD graduation data issued by the UKMPPD national committee. The test used to see the effect is a regression test, the most learning approach is deep approach 50.85% % and obtained p <0.05, which indicates there is an influence between the learning strategies with OSCE UKMPPD graduation. Keywords: OSCE, UKMPPD, Medical Student ABSTRAK Strategi pembelajaran atau yang biasa dikenal sebagai pendekatan belajar merupakan intensi dan motivasi individu serta penggunaan strategi yang sesuai ketika menghadapi lingkungan pembelajaran. Secara umum, strategi  pembelajaran dapat dibagi menjadi dua kategori yaitu pendekatan mendalam (deep approach) dan pendekatan dangkal (surface approach).Pendekatan mendalam ditandai dengan keinginan untuk memahami materi sehingga menghasilkan kualitas hasil belajar yang baik. Seorang mahasiswa yang menggunakan pendekatan mendalam memiliki niat untuk memahami materi pembelajaran dan dimotivasi oleh ketertarikan pada materi pembelajaran. Sebaliknya, pendekatan dangkal ditandai dengan keinginan untuk mencapai hasil minimal dengan usaha minimal sehingga menghasilkan kualitas hasil belajar yang rendah. Pendekatan dangkal terkait dengan berbagai bentuk pembelajaran hafalan, dengan rasa takut akan kegagalan sebagai motivasi dominan.Oleh karena itu, pendekatan belajar dapat mempengaruhi hasil belajar. Salah satu hasil belajar yang dinilai adalah Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) Uji Kompetensi Mahasiswa Program Profesi Dokter (UKMPPD). Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk melihat pengaruh pendekatan belajar dan kelulusan OSCE UKMPPD periode Mei 2018 dan Agustus 2018 mahasiswa profesi dokter Fakultas Kedokteran dan Ilmu Kesehatan Universitas Jambi (FKIK UNJA). Metode penelitian adalah deskriptif analitik dengan pendekatan cross-sectional. Populasi adalah mahasiswa profesi dokter FKIK UNJA yang mengikuti OSCE UKMPPD periode Mei 2018 dan Agustus 2018 sebanyak 59  orang. Sampel adalah seluruh populasi (total sampling). Data pendekatan belajar mahasiswa didapatkan dengan menggunakan kuesioner “Revised Study Process Questionnaire 2 Factors (R-SPQ-F2). Data kelulusan OSCE UKMPPD adalah data resmi kelulusan UKMPPD yang dikeluarkan oleh panitia nasional UKMPPD. Uji yang digunakan untuk melihat pengaruh adalah uji regresi, Pendekatan belajar yang terbanyak adalah 50.85% % dan didapatkan p< 0,05, yang menandakan ada pengaruh antara pendekatan belajar dengan kelulusan OSCE UKMPPD.

Objective: Enhanced knowledge retention and a preference towards a deep learning approach are desirable pedagogical outcomes of case-based learning (CBL). The CBL literature is sparse with respect to these outcomes, and this is especially so in the area of biochemistry. The present study determined the effect of CBL vs. non CBL on knowledge retention in an undergraduate biochemistry course; it also investigated associations of learning approach, age and gender.Methods: We used the Revised Two-Factor Study Process Questionnaire, a retention test, final exam grades and other demographic information to statistically compare academic outcomes of students subjected to either CBL or non-CBL active learning techniques.Results: We showed that students exposed to CBL in a second year course performed significantly better on a retention test conducted nine months after the final exam, and that there was a positive correlation between a deep learning approach and higher retention scores. We did not find an association between gender and age with the retention of biochemistry concepts.Conclusions: Our findings suggest that use of CBL in undergraduate biochemistry education may confer benefits in terms of retention of knowledge of key concepts.

La investigación previa pone de manifiesto cierta influencia de los enfoques de aprendizaje sobre el rendimiento, asociándose generalmente el enfoque profundo a aprendizajes de mayor calidad y el superficial a menores rendimientos. El objetivo de este estudio es profundizar en los mecanismos que intervienen en esta relación, analizando el papel modulador del tiempo de dedicación. Participan en un diseño de encuesta longitudinal de 15 semanas de duración 187 estudiantes universitarios. Los datos sobre los enfoques se recogen con el R-SPQ-2F en su versión española. Los resultados del análisis path confirman que los enfoques de aprendizaje influyen sobre el rendimiento. El enfoque superficial produce un efecto directo asociado a peores resultados y ambos influyen indirectamente a través de su efecto sobre los tiempos de dedicación. Se discute la importancia de estos resultados y la necesidad de seguir ahondando en las variables que modulan esta relación. Previous research has shown the influence of approaches to learning on performance, with a deep approach generally associated with higher quality learning, and a surface approach with lower levels of performance. The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanisms involved in this relationship by studying the modulating role of time spent on learning tasks. A longitudinal study with a survey format lasting fifteen weeks was carried out. 187 university students took part in the study. The data on approaches were gathered with the Revised Two-Factor Study Process Questionnaire (R-SPQ-2F) in Spanish. The results from path analysis confirmed that approaches to learning do influence performance. A surface approach yields a direct effect that is linked to worse results. This paper discusses the relevance of these results and the need for further research on the variables that may influence this relationship.

Students’ approaches to learning can vary between students of different ages, genders, years, degrees, or cultural contexts. The aim of this study was to assess the approaches to learning of different students of life science degrees. The Revised Two-Factor Study Process Questionnaire (R-SPQ-2F) has been used to assess the approaches to learning of 505 students of thirteen different subjects of four different degrees at Universitat Politècnica de València in order to study the factors that influence their approaches. Results show a higher deep approach of the students. Differences were observed between subjects and gender, not related to level (bachelor or master) or year. The item reliability analysis showed a high consistency for the main scales, but not for the secondary scales of the R-SPQ-2F questionnaire. High correlation between the deep and surface scales were observed. These data can provide more information to the teachers, which may help them to develop strategies focused on promoting a deeper approach to learning for the students, more adapted to their subject, level, and year.

Purpose: We investigated the validity and reliability of the Revised Two Factor Study Process Questionnaire (R-SPQ2F) in preclinical students in Ghana. Methods: The R-SPQ2F was administered to 189 preclinical students of the University for Development Studies, School of Medicine and Health Sciences. Both descriptive and inferential statistics with Cronbach’s alpha test and factor analysis were done. Results: The mean age of the students was 22.69 ± 0.18 years, 60.8% (n = 115) were males and 42.3% (n = 80) were in their second year of medical training. The students had higher mean deep approach scores (31.23 ± 7.19) than that of surface approach scores (22.62 ± 6.48). Findings of the R-SPQ2F gave credence to a solution of two-factors indicating deep and surface approaches accounting for 49.80% and 33.57%, respectively, of the variance. The scales of deep approach (Cronbach’s alpha, 0.80) and surface approach (Cronbach’s alpha, 0.76) and their subscales demonstrated an internal consistency that was good. The factorial validity was comparable to other studies. Conclusion: Our study confirms the construct validity and internal consistency of the R-SPQ2F for measuring approaches to learning in Ghanaian preclinical students. Deep approach was the most dominant learning approach among the students. The questionnaire can be used to measure students’ approaches to learning in Ghana and in other African countries.
