“…Regarding gender differences in the learning approach, the present study showed that female postgraduates are more likely to adopt a deep learning approach than male postgraduates. This result followed the previous research by Walankar et al (2019) and Salamonson et al (2013). The present study also reported that postgraduates with working experience were more likely accustomed to a deep learning approach than a surface learning approach.…”

Students' learning approach can be categorized as either a deep learning approach or a surface learning approach. The present study aims to evaluate the learning approaches among health sciences undergraduates and postgraduates, identify predictors of learning approaches, and investigate the relationship between learning approaches and academic accomplishment. The respondents of this study were 130 undergraduates and 70 postgraduates. A revised two-factor version of the Study Process Questionnaire was administered to assess students' learning approaches. The result showed that the predominant learning approach among the undergraduates and postgraduates was deep learning. Postgraduates (35.21+3.54) were significantly higher (p<0.05) in deep learning than undergraduates (32.61+5.71). The surface learning approach was highest among fourth-year undergraduates (p<0.05). Gender and working experience were factors associated with learning approaches in postgraduates. There was no significant correlation (p>0.05) between students' learning approaches and academic performance. This study's findings recommended curriculum and assessment system revision to foster a deep learning approach in health sciences undergraduates and postgraduates.

Transfer students (TSs) transitioning from community college (CC) to university have been found to experience adjustment challenges different from those experienced by direct entrants (DEs) admitted straight from high school, which in turn influences their approaches to learning. Learning can enhance the transition towards sustainability, and it is influenced by various factors. However, there have been limited studies examining the factors associated with TSs’ and DEs’ learning approaches. To fill this research gap, this current study used a cross-sectional survey with both TSs (n = 841) and DEs (n = 978) to identify the factors. Our results indicated that the TSs had a higher rate of adoption of surface approaches (SA) to learning than DEs, while TSs and DEs shared some similar predictors of their learning approaches. The results suggest that the commitment of education stakeholders is essential for sustainable learning. They should improve the transfer system by providing adequate support and reduce disparities in the allocation of resources to TSs and DEs, as these affect learning approaches.
