Abstract

In this research we use the factor analysis to analyse which items are the most representative in the Biggs' SPQ. Secondly, we also analyse the performance of students in the questionnaire to see whether there is any relationship between the learning approaches of their University course and the student performance. The results show that the scale for deep approach produce one main factor in motive subscale and two main factors in strategy scale. On the contrary, the scale for surface approach split in three main factors. Concerning the second objective we find that there is a relationship between the faculties profile and the student performance.
