Abstract

A Study approach adopted by students varies from one student to another. Meanwhile teaching methodology, lecturer’s guidelines as well as criteria for obtaining high marks in examination control the students learning approach. This study used to find out the relationship between study hours, family income, part time job and academic results with study approach. Biggs’ Study process questionnaire was used to analyse the study approach adapted by Physiotherapy students. Total of 100 BPT and 17 MPT students of Lovely Professional University were recruited for this study. The data were analysed in relation to student’s academic scores, part time jobs, family income and study hours. Results of this study showed that 59% of Physiotherapy students adopted deep achieving, 20% Deep and 19% superficial study approach. From this study majority of physiotherapy students adopted a deep-achieving learning approach that means they are willing to obtain higher grades but their family income, part time job and study hours did not correlate with their study approach except academic scores.

Key words: Superficial approach,deep approach, deep achieving approach, Physiotherapy
