Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the achievements related to the achievement goals and learning styles of students at K University¡¯s Department of Occupational Therapy and to assess their implications on teaching/learning methods.
Methods : A total of 105 students in all years of study at the Department of Occupational Therapy were invited to complete a questionnaire. For this study, Kolb¡¯s Learning Styles and Elliot & Church¡¯s Achievement Goal were used. The subjects¡¯GPAs from the previous semester were used as indicators of academic achievement.
Results : The results of this study are as follows. There is no coefficient of correlation between learning styles, but there is a coefficient of correlation between achievement goal and academic achievement. A mastery level was the preference in the academic goal types of the students. Kolb¡¯s¡® Accommodator¡¯ was the preferred learning type for students, while¡® assimilator¡¯ was not preferred. Students also preferred¡® diverger¡¯ as a higher grade.
Conclusion : From these results, we suggested some effective teaching/learning methods based on the students¡¯ achievement goals. Learning styles and achievement goals are expected to be helpful in designing effective learning strategies and thereby enhancing the performance of medical students.
