Related Literature and Studies The following are studies discussed and cited as part of the reference materials used as the main related literatures. Age In educational aspect, age is important and to the individual involved. Some are slower and less adaptable as they grew older but tried to compensate for these deficiencies by improving their dependability, stability and quality of work according to Galiza (2003).

Teachers give students what they will need to pass the exams, often referred to as spoon-feeding. They arrange learning in their subject in such a way that students must be actively involved in it. Assessment and learning objectives It is commonly thought that assessment is the most powerful influence of all on how students approach learning in a subject and where they decide to put their energy. So if the assessment tasks reward memorizing and rote learning then that is what students will do in order to succeed in assessment.

All learning assumes some process of remembering. A key distinction between deep and surface approaches to learning is the “memory work” is accorded in each. To the learner adopting a deep approach, different forms of memorization are a means to an important end - that of creating understanding. To the learner adopting a surface approach, memorization is an end in itself. Adopting a deep approach to their studies will be aware of the need to remember significant facts, principles, claims, and arguments and so on, if they are to stake a claim to a terrain of knowledge called their
