    CORRELATION BETWEEN STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION OF ACADEMIC GRADING AND THEIR COGNITIVE AND LEARNING STRATEGIES
    (Suleyman Demirel University, 2014) Zh.N. Abdrakhym, Ye.I. Radyuk
    Kazakhstan system of credits in higher education was established in 2002 with the aim to support further integration of the country to the global educational environment. Credit system is seen as an educational technology which helps to make educational process more innovative and studentcentered. In this respect we attempted to examine students’ perceptions of grading in relation to studentpossessed learning orientation (LO) and grade orientation (GO). Individuals high in LO tend to be motivated by the acquisition of knowledge, while those high in GO tend to be driven by the acquisition of high grades. /1/ It is commonly thought that learning orientation [LO] and grade orientation [GO] in students and instructors are opposite ends of the same continuum. However, psychometric testing has recently shown that LO and GO are two independent orientations. Knowing your own orientation and the orientation of your students is an excellent strategy for tailoring your classes to reach a range of learning styles and foster selfmotivated learners.
