text: "The purpose of the research was to develop and validate an instrument for
the assessment of attitudes towards the study environment in higher education
contexts. The questionnaire is designed to measure students' attitudes towards
two particular objects: the university (or Higher Education Institution) and the
process of studying. Five studies at two different universities were conducted
to develop and validate the Attitudes towards the Study Environment Questionnaire
(ASEQ). In total, 1640 students filled in the questionnaire. Reliability tests
and exploratory factor analysis as well as confirmatory factor analysis showed
satisfactory psychometric characteristics of the ASEQ. Each part of the questionnaire
is internally consistent and construct validity of the scales is supported by
correlations with other constructs as assumed by current theories: Positive attitudinal
constructs (normative behavior, autonomy, joy, self-efficacy, and task value)
are positively related to intrinsic motivation and the expected study performance
while anxiety is negatively related to these constructs. \r\nSince attitudes towards
the study situation are connected to student engagement and motivation, the study
contributes to the theory of student learning by providing a validated instrument
to assess attitudes. Thus, the ASEQ can support further research on student performance
and development by providing an instrument for the hitherto neglected but nonetheless
extremely relevant domain of attitudes. Also, the questionnaire can be used as
a diagnostic instrument for higher education faculty and administration to trace
students' attitudinal development over time - a factor of prime importance for
student socialization during the introductory phase of studying."

text: "The proposed paper aims to investigate the longitudinal development of students'
motivation over the first year of their studies at a business school by using
latent growth curve modeling. The study tackles the following core research questions:
How do first-year university students' intrinsic and extrinsic vary over time?
Which (motivational) factors are related to students' motivational development?
Although motivational dispositions have been analyzed extensively in previous
studies, their longitudinal development has hitherto not been examined in the
higher education context.\r\n\r\nThis longitudinal study is conducted at the University
of St. Gallen in Switzerland. The current sample includes 280 first-year students
who have been surveyed three times and who are representative of the first-year
student population.\r\n\r\nDescriptive results show that prior to their studies,
students were motivated most by intrinsic factors, however, extrinsic motivation
was also quite high. Employing latent growth curve modeling, it could be shown
that both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation decline significantly over the course
of the first year (8 months).\r\n\r\nThe study contributes to motivation theory
by providing further insights into the development of academic motivation over
time. Latent growth curve modeling as a method can be well used for longitudinal
data analysis, thus, excluding measurement error from longitudinal data. Furthermore,
the study supports educational developers by determining factors influencing students'
motivational development."

text: 'Research on teaching and learning in higher education has first and foremost
centered on individuals, i.e. students'' and teachers'' approaches to learning
and teaching as well as methods (Entwistle, McCune, & Scheja, 2006; Entwistle
& Peterson, 2004). As a consequence, concepts on how to improve and innovate education
at higher education institutions (HEI) have stayed on the level of individual
courses, trying to qualify teachers to implement new teaching and learning methods
in their classrooms (Aineley, 2008, S. 619). Yet, there are both theoretical as
well as practical reasons that argue for a broader perspective on learning processes
and, as a consequence, reach beyond the course-level but focus on entire educational
programmes instead: First, over the last thirty years or so, learning theories
are increasingly stressing the importance of (a) social-material contexts (McInerney
& van Etten, 2002) as well as (b) learners'' subjective experiences. This suggests
that a course of study be not regarded as a mere addition of more or less independent
courses, but rather as a holistic learning experience. This includes the sum total
of a student''s educationally purposeful social-material interactions at a HEI
both within and outside the classroom (cf. Hu & Kuh, 2002). A second, more practical
reason why educational researchers and designers should take a closer look on
the design of educational programmes lies in the Bologna process: The introduction
of the European Credit Transfer System as well as the tow-tiered study structure
force HEI to systematically craft their programmes'' internal structure. Due to
the fact that there are virtually no pedagogical concepts concerning the design
of study programmes, these design processes have so far been dominated by administrative
considerations, largely neglecting students'' experiences within the programme
structures (Winter, 2009; Hildbrand, Tremp, Jäger & Tückmantel, 2008). Thus, it
can be concluded that there is a lack of knowledge on how distinctive design features
of study programmes (1) are perceived by students and (2) impact on their action
strategies concerning for example the selection of learning activities, the attribution
of resources for learning, and social interactions with their peers.'
