Student Learner or Student Consumer?
Are you more of a student ‘learner’ or ‘consumer’ of your higher education? The strength of your identity as a student ‘learner’ or ‘consumer’ will have an influence on your approach to studying and academic performance.
Take the quiz to discover your student profile. It should take you between 5 - 10 minutes. The quiz is based on two dimensions of being a student: 'learning' and 'consuming', which combine to create four types. Are you a Thinker, Striver, Customer, or Undecided?
Take the quiz to find out.
Student Identity Dimensions.pptxTHE THINKER TYPE
If you have a strong learner identity and weak consumer identity you are ‘The Thinker’. This is because you gain a deep level of satisfaction from studying and enjoy finding out about new ideas. You are not especially driven by career ambitions or money and do not feel entitled to a degree as a result of paying tuition fees.
THE STRIVER TYPE
If you have a strong learner identity and strong consumer identity you are ‘The Striver’. You enjoy studying your subject but tend to be focused on learning material that is perceived as relevant for a specific career goal.
THE CUSTOMER TYPE
If you have weak learner identity and strong consumer identity you are ‘The Customer’. This is because you view your degree more as a financial investment or training for a specific career, than as an opportunity to understand a subject because it is interesting in its own right. You expect to receive good grades but for minimal effort.
THE UNDECIDED TYPE
If you have a weak learner identity and weak consumer identity you are ‘The Undecided’. This is because you do not seem particularly engaged with your university or learning at a substantial level. Perhaps you are not sure whether university is the right place for you at this time, and perhaps your chosen subject of study is not appropriate at the moment.
