approaches to learning (ATL), mastery motivation, executive functions

Abstract

In recent decades, educational researchers have focused on the concept of approaches to learning (ATL) that refers to the child’s cognitive and affective factors related to learning. Extensive research has shown that ATL plays a major role in children’s development. While researchers have explored various factors influencing school performance in Hungary, the concept and importance of ATL are still partially understood. Therefore, this study aimed to provide an overview of the theoretical approaches and components of ATL. The study presented a comprehensive review of the tests used for measuring the ATL and put forward the ATL concept to Hungarian readers.
