The Role of Personal Values in Learning Approaches and Student Achievements

Kelum A A Gamage et al. Behav Sci (Basel). .

Abstract

Personal values play a significant role when adopting learning approaches by individuals during their studies. Particularly in higher education, these values significantly influence the character that individuals play within their learning community and ultimately influence their academic achievements. The purpose of this paper is to investigate personal values in their choice of learning approaches and, subsequently, how it impacts one's academic achievements. It also investigates the importance of developing an individual's personal values as a part of their wider studies, while aligning these with graduate attributes and balancing them with knowledge and skills, to produce successful graduates in a society.

Keywords: attitudes; learning approaches; personal values; student behaviours.
