This study explores and analyzes the learning tendencies of second-year students enrolled in different lines of study related to the Databases course. There were 79 answers collected from 191 enrolled students that were analyzed and interpreted using thematic analysis. The participants in the study provided two sets of answers, anonymously collected (at the beginning and at the end of the course), thus allowing us to have clear data regarding their interests and to find out their tendencies. We looked into their expectations and if they were met; we concluded that the students want to learn only database basics. Their main challenges were related to the course homework. We combined the information and the answers related to 1) other database-related topics that they would like to learn, 2) how they plan to use the acquired information, and 3) overall interest in learning other database-related topics. The conclusion was that students prefer learning only the basic information that could help them achieve their goals: creating an application or using it at work. For these students, Getting the work done is preferred to Learning in-depth.

翻译：本研究探索并分析了修读数据库课程不同方向二年级学生的学习倾向。共收集191名注册学生中的79份回答，采用主题分析法进行解读。研究参与者提供了两组匿名收集的答案（课程开始和结束时），从而获得关于其兴趣的清晰数据并发现其倾向。我们考察了他们的期望及期望是否实现，得出结论：学生仅希望学习数据库基础知识，其主要困难与课程作业相关。我们整合了以下信息与答案：1）他们希望学习的其他数据库相关主题，2）计划如何运用所学知识，3）对学习其他数据库相关主题的整体兴趣。结论表明，学生更倾向于仅学习有助于实现目标的基础知识：创建应用程序或在工作中使用。对这些学生而言，“完成任务”优于“深度学习”。
