Northern Marianas College students should have responsibilities to motivate their own desires, but most of them don’t. Research has continually shown that motivation is the most important factor for success in most human endeavors. That is especially true for success in college. Here are three different types of students who have motivation toward college: high, regular, and low.
First of all, highly motivated students are enthusiastic and positive about learning.
Highly motivated students are enthusiastic and positive about learning. They like to dig in and learn as much as possible for the time and money spent on their education. They realistically evaluate their abilities in setting their goals, strive to overcome difficulties, and achieve success. They focus on goals that help them put the effort and do what is important to benefit from college. They are more likely to work hard and participate with their classmates and work continuously although they are faced with difficulties such as complex assignments. Highly motivated students are always thorough about preparing and reviewing their lessons. They always do assignments and projects beforehand. They never miss their assignments, exams or attendance. For example, one of my cousins has really dexterous ability. She had a firm goal which was to learn architectural design. She graduated from design high school and got accepted into the famous design college. For achieving her own goal, she put her soul into her work. Even though difficulty comes with a rush, she never gave up and overcame it. She graduated first on the list in college. She is still going a step forward slightly to her goal
A next group is regularly motivated students. These students are regular in their attendance but they don’t listen to lectures. Some students are really hard-working. They always try to do their best and spend much time for studying. But they have poor study skills and time management skills that make them get lower grades. They take every work too seriously. Although the assignment is simple, they cannot finish easily. They are more likely to daydream or draw during class. They seldom study and they only study when they have to submit homework or test. They are more likely to get crammed for a test or homework. If they pass the course, they don’t care anymore. Unfortunately, they just attend the college reluctantly because they have to go. They don’t have firm goals and what they want to be. Some of my friends usually ask other students to help their assignments. Because they are afraid to do homework alone or they don’t want to do it. They always get along somehow to finish their work faithfully. They only study when they have test or quiz. Third, there are the lowly motivated students. Unlike the highly motivated students, these students have negative and less enthusiasm towards academics. They are not motivated by the challenge and satisfaction of learning. Mostly, they lack interest in learning. They are often less successful because they do not accept responsibilities for their works and put forth less effort on challenging tasks. They receive a failing grade and repeat the course consecutively. They are more likely to hang out with friends and skip class. They are not trying, for instance, they usually sit silently, hiding at the back or the corner of the room, and postponing tasks. They just copy homework from friends and disturb other classmates all the time or sleep during class. Most of them tend to give up easily before they try to make up. Also, they are not cooperative in group work. They only think about study a lot and they never carry out the plan to practice. For example, someone, who took same class with me in last fall semester, was totally idle. She always came late for class, or didn’t show up. During the class, she is more likely to talk with friends rather than to listen to the lectures. She always asked me to do homework and copies my homework. She‘d never tried to do her best and thought negatively that she couldn’t do it herself. As a result, she couldn’t pass that class and went back to Korea.
Lastly, there is a student who always plays and does nothing. In this case, a student must be rich so that they do not even need to think of study or money. This type of student does not care about grade and just live life on one’s own. In other case, a student would get inherit fortune from parent or the company. Sometime these types of students get abandon by parent because they are so troublesome.
Definitely college students are more independent in forming their attitudes, concerning studying, which will affect their further life, rather than in high schools. I think the important thing is finding our own goal. That will help us to make highly motivated students. If you are interested in it, we are not to be biased and think only on one side but think in a whole view where we could see what can be done
