Abstract

This paper considers relationships between approaches to learning learner identities selfefficacy beliefs and academic achievement in higher education In addition to already established survey instruments a new scale subject area affinity was developed The scale explores the extent to which students identify with their area of study and imagine being part of it in future The new scale showed strong psychometric properties when it was tested on a sample of 4377 students at a researchintensive university The new scale correlated positively with both the deep approach and selfefficacy scales The new scale also correlated negatively with the surface approach scale Kmeans cluster analysis identified seven distinct groups of students who espoused interpretable combinations of approaches selfefficacy and subject area affinity Cluster membership was associated with differences in academic achievement Implications are discussed
