Motivation: Just the FactsMany students are not ready for the

challenges encountered in college (Balduf 2009)

Studies suggest that issues of time-management tasks and self-discipline “proved more challenging” than anticipated upon enrollment to college (Balduf, 2009).

Morrow & Ackermann (2012) found that learners who are unable to form positive motivational “attitudes” towards goal fulfillment are at greater risk of dropping from program.

Sparkman, Maulding & Roberts (2012) note parental education accomplishments as influential on learner motivation and persistence in college.
