Students' Motivation to Learn

ABSTRACT

Often called a “Discovery Major,” the parks, recreation, and tourism major tends to have more transfer students than other majors. Research has shown that educators sometimes perceive transfer students as less motivated than continuing students. This study explored differences between Parks, Recreation, and Tourism (PRT) students and non-PRT students who represented 52 majors on the University of Missouri-Columbia campus. Survey results confirmed that PRT students were more likely to have changed majors. Although PRT students reported lower ACT and GPA scores, no significant difference was found between the two groups in their motivation to learn. However, compared with non-PRT students, PRT students attributed more value to their major when they perceived having more control of their learning.

Tourism environments and management

The Congress of the World Leisure and Recreation Association, held in Sydney, Australia 16–19 July 1991, had as its focus the theme of ‘Leisure and tourism: social and environmental change’. Among over 140 papers on varied management, research and education issues a number examined the frameworks used to understand tourism environments and their management. Bill Bramwell, of the Centre for Tourism at Sheffield City Polytechnic, assesses the new insights offered by these papers.
