Abstract (2. Language):
The main aim of this research is to better understand and draw perceptions of low
and high achiever distance learners about their study patterns. The study indicates
the areas where significant difference is found among low and high achievers of
Allama Iqbal Open University, Pakistan through a self developed questionnaire
covering their preferred study location, study times, number of hours spent on study,
the difficulties affecting their study patterns and the organization of study strategies
in comparative perspective. Greater difficulties were being faced by low achievers in
their study. Increased difficulties were encountered by low achievers with study
material, volume of study, self-motivation and other factors. There was no significant
difference between low and high achievers for their study strategies of studying
materials without taking notes and reading aloud. Greater low achievers attempted
easy portions of their study material first and took notes simultaneously as compared
to high achievers.
