Sloane-Seale, Atlanta; Wallace, Lori; Levin, Benjamin
Canadian Journal of University Continuing Education, v27 n2 p15-31 Fall 2001
Interviews with 23 disadvantaged and aboriginal postsecondary students in Canada addressed academic motivation; study barriers and supports; knowledge, skills, and abilities; career goals; and definitions of success. Most had a high need for achievement, encountered situational barriers, were goal oriented, and believed postsecondary education would increase career prospects and benefit their communities.
