Is it more correct to say:

> 勉強のつもり  
>  or  
>  勉強するつもり?

EDIT:  
I take it 'I plan not to study' would be 「勉強しないつもり」. Unless it's something
else like 「無勉強のつもり」 which I highly doubt. Am I correct in saying this?

question
syntax
How would you use つもり with する verbs? のつもり or するつもり?
You'd use するつもり. However, keep in mind that つもり is used to express intent. For
example, 明日日本語を勉強するつもりです is acceptable if you mean to express intent to "study
Japanese tomorrow". But, this sets the precedence that it's a do-or-die
situation, as opposed to something you're casually planning to do.

You might say 明日日本語を勉強するつもりです if you mean to say that all of your volition is
behind studying tomorrow and for good reason. You may not say that about
grabbing pizza with friends in the afternoon, though:

> 今日３時ごろ友達とピザを食べるつもりです。 << This is wrong! It's too strong a tone.

Instead, try:

> 今日３時ごろ友達とピザを食べる **予定{よてい｝があります。**

Apologies in advance for bad examples. I seem to be particularly lacking in
that department...!

answer
つもり has mainly two meanings. The one means "be going to do" and the other
means "intention that you consider something as real something, though they
aren't real or not doing in real".

A plain form of a verb + つもり means the former one. For example, 私は明日勉強するつもりです
(I am going to study tomorrow).

A noun or a progressive form of a verb + つもり means the latter one. For
example, when you pick up a broom, you can say "これはギターのつもり" and then you can
pretend to play the guitar, while you say "ギターを弾いているつもり". And they also mean
"I intend that I am doing (something as something)", for example,
私は彼とけんかしているつもり would be translated as "I intend that I am quarreling with
him."

勉強のつもり means the latter one. 勉強しないつもり is natural and we don't say 無勉強のつもり.
