Popis: Transitions processes in higher education are characterized by new learning situations which pose challenges to most students. This chapter explores the heterogeneity of reactions to these challenges from a perspective of regulation processes. The Integrated Model of Learning and Action is used to identity different patterns of motivational regulation amongst students at university by using mixed distribution models. Six subpopulations of motivational regulation could be identified: students with self-determined, pragmatic, strategic, negative, anxious and insecure learning motivation. Findings about these patterns can be used to design didactic measures that will support students’ learning processes.
