This book is based upon three interrelated open naturalistic
studies conducted to better characterise the motivational
orientation of students in higher education. Open semi-structured
individual interviews were conducted with undergraduates, students
at community colleges and students in taught postgraduate courses
in Hong Kong. The analysis used an exploratory grounded theory
approach and resulted in a motivational orientation framework with
six continua with positive and negative poles. On enrolment
students had positions on the six facets of motivation, which
shifted as they progressed through their degree according to their
perceptions of the teaching and learning environment. The framework
can, therefore, be used to explain both initial decisions to enrol
and motivation to continue studying. The interviews included
descriptions of teaching approaches and learning activities and
their effects on motivation. This made it possible to describe a
teaching and learning environment conducive to motivation, with
eight supportive conditions. Each facet of the teaching and
learning environment is illustrated with quotations from the three
groups of students, resulting in a guide to configuring a teaching
and learning environment conducive to motivating students. The
emerging community-college sector in Hong Kong is used as a case
study of the effects on student motivation of the expansion of the
higher education sector through private colleges. Cultural issues
are discussed, particularly the performance of Asian students
relative to those in the West.
