Foundation Skills/Thinking styles and orientations to study/Orientations to Study

Felder (1990) wrote a short conversation between three students to illustrate Entwistle's (1988) concept of Orientations to Study. After reading Felder's short article, you should be able to identify each of the three students as meaning orientated, reproducing orientated, or achieving orientated in their approach to study.

What proportions of your students would you place in each of the three categories, meaning orientated, reproducing orientated, or achieving orientated?
