Angela Ho, EDC Chan Chi Hung, Learning to Learn Project

Why are students not motivated to learn? Can the interview excerpts tell us some of the reasons?

de-motivated do not understandthe programme goals Students are easily de-motivated if they do not understand the programme goals Common misconceptions about the Programme of study Lack of understanding of the discipline / profession A misconception about practicality – a “technician” mentality Unable to perceive the relationship among subjects A narrow perception about their profession and hence unable to appreciate the use of some ‘non-discipline specific’ subjects A narrow perception about their education and hence unable to appreciate the value of the GE subjects.

not aware of learning goals set by the PolyU Many students are not aware of the learning goals set by the PolyU PolyU Strategic Objective #1 PolyU Strategic Objective #1 (2001/2 – 2006/7) To enhance the all-round development of students, particularly in the areas of global outlook, critical and creative thinking, strong sense of social and national responsibility, cultural appreciation, ability to pursue life- long learning, good biliteracy and trilingualism, entrepreneurship and leadership PolyU Mission PolyU Mission : Developing Preferred Graduates

understand Programme Goals able to learn appropriately Students who understand Programme Goals - able to learn appropriately from the Programme This student is more likely to become a Preferred Graduate: Actually we are diversified. The theories might not be in-depth but it shows us many different things. If we want to work in the field of quality control, we can; if we want to make moulds, we can; we can also make plastic products. I like … to stay in the Industrial Centre... We might not be working with our own hands when we go outside, but at least we know. When you talk with other people how you do the job, it will be helpful. I also like the project here. I know that we’ll work with other departments next year. I think I can learn a lot because when you go outside, you’ll have to work with different people,

Student-centerd activities two types of objectives involved: the ‘academic’ objectives, which was related to the learning of the subject matter; and the ‘developmental’ objectives, which was related to the development of useful life process skills, e.g. independent study skills, decision making skills, during the course of the task. Students used to the academic one, but not the other (see paper on problems)

Unable to get the most learning goals of the activity are unclear Unable to get the most out of a learning activity if learning goals of the activity are unclear What do students need to know about a learning activity? a) Learning goals a) Learning goals of specific learning activity, and how these goals relate to a preferred graduate b) Design of the learning activity b) Design of the learning activity which facilitate the achievement of the learning goals c) Strategies for achieving the learning goals c) Strategies for achieving the learning goals via the learning activity

Students have expressed the need for ‘learning goals’ To know the aims of learning To set learning goals Improve our thinking process Skills to answer questions Learn to apply in daily life To know more about real world situations How to learn efficiently & effectively, i.e. less time to learn more, less effort to get more returns Learn the different ways for learning different subjects e.g. ICT, IT (Perceived needs for Learning to Learn, ENGL, 2001)
