What is the purpose of the study?
This study intends to investigate the motivation felt by students to engage with academics/ their course subject/ assignments/ studies and whether having alternative life experiences can influence an individual’s motivation levels. We will do this by asking you questions on how you feel towards your academics and skills, about yourself as a student, how important your studies are to you and the levels of stress you feel your academics can cause. This study is only a measure of motivation, not academic ability. The investigation of attitudes towards studying is useful research which can help identify where educational institutions can improve their course delivery/support/advice to benefit all students.
Why have I been chosen?
