Learning in Formal and Informal Contexts: Conceptions and Strategies of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander University Students.

Studied the conceptions of formal learning held by 22 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students from 3 Australian universities, a group with a high attrition rate in tertiary education. Results show that these students view and approach university learning in much the same way as other students, but the strategies these students used did not match the conceptions of learning they held.
