Academic and Out-of-Class Influences on Students' Intellectual Orientations.

Terenzini, Patrick T.; And Others

Review of Higher Education, v19 n1 p23-44 Fall 1995

A study investigated the extent to which 210 college students' learning orientations were shaped independently and jointly by their academic and nonacademic experiences. Findings indicated that the two kinds of experience each made statistically significant and unique contributions to gains in intellectual orientation after controlling for precollege characteristics, and that they also exerted a modest joint effect.
