Learning strategies, performance indicators and university student satisfaction: What can psychosocial variables tell us?

The research papers collected in this book are pioneering contributions to understanding what leads to student satisfaction in a university setting. The papers provide insights into:

• Why students persevere with their studies,
• Self-efficacy and coping styles that students engage in,
• The role that locus of control, self-efficacy and trait hope play in student satisfaction,
• Time management issues,
• Study and employment management.

These investigations result in significant research findings and highlight some of the issues that confront students and what areas could be a focus to improve student satisfaction during their time at tertiary institutions.

This book is available at JCU Library on Townsville and Cairns campuses.
