摘要：AbstractThe main purpose of the study was to investigate the relationships between students’ general study orientations and the ways of regulating their learning, and what kind of differences there are between sub groups of students concerning those target phenomena. The study was targeted at second, fourth and final year students of medicine in Finland. Six study orientations were found, the most dominant being deep orientation and the most uncommon non-commitment. Significant correlations between orientations and regulation strategies indicated that general study orientations serve as useful background variables for follow up. Certain interesting differences between subgroups were also found.
