Abstract: Education has become an important factor determining the progress of individual human beings and human society. Education provides knowledge and develops the skills and abilities to perform various socio-economic tasks. Learning is an important part of education. Learning orientation (LO) and performance orientation (PO) have an impact on acquiring knowledge and its subsequent application for performing tasks. This research is based on a structured survey questionnaire personally administered to 220 graduate engineering students in India. To develop a scale for learning orientation and performance orientation, exploratory factor analysis and the appropriate reliability and validity tests were conducted. The relationship between learning orientation and performance orientation on performance was studied using analysis of variance (ANOVA). Respondents were grouped into high and low PO and LO groups and their performance was analyzed for inter-group differences. The group differences were not significant.
