  11. Data Analysis

  12. Motivation and Performance in Part-time Study • The objectives of this study are to: 1. Identify the characteristics and motivation factors of full-time teachers undertaking part-time tertiary study. 2. Trial a range of innovative and flexible pedagogies in selected modules to determine their effect on academic performance and participation. 3. Compare the efficacy of flexible learning with traditional face-to-face instructional approaches 4. Determine other factors that influence learning progress 5. Design and pilot an instrument that will enable instructors to gain information on motivation and lifestyle factors 6. Provide preliminary data for monograph for return-to-study teachers. • https://iln.cite.hku.hk/

  16. Data collected

  17. Quantitatively analysis SPSS Simple frequency calculation

  18. Open-ended questions Motivation • 01Why did you enrol in the B.Ed. programme? (Essay type question) • 02How would you describe yourself as a learner? • 03Do you plan to complete further study within the next 5 years? (Yes/No) If yes, what course and why?

  19. Why did you enrol in the B.Ed. programme?

  20. Data analysis by coding

  21. Transcript of Interviews Q02) What is the biggest problem for you in part-time tertiary study? #1: Time, tiredness, and money. #2: As we have to work, we don’t have time to do the assignment and to read the papers. And after working, we have already been tired. #3: Time, tiredness, and money. #4: Time management. Besides, because I don’t have background knowledge about IT, so I have to ask my colleagues and spend a lot of effort to catch up.

  26. Q01) Have you previously undertaken part time study before BEd? Of the 15 students answering this question, 12 have undertaken part time course before, and 3 have not.

  27. Q02) What is the biggest problem for you in part-time tertiary study? Most of the students mentioned “time” as the biggest problem. The issue of time triggered another problem of “tiredness”. Some of them mentioned the expensive school fee as another problem. Two students mentioned the lack of IT background. One student said his/her problem was that the lecturer was difficult to find.

  28. “Time is not enough. The school would not reduce your workload. And the workload of a teacher is really heavy, a lot of things have to be prepared after school.” “I do not have enough time to study and revise. The time for classmates to gather is not enough, the day-time courses would have more discussion, but for part-time courses less.” “Time, tiredness and money. To some of my classmates the workload may be too heavy, and they have no computer or IT background.” “Sometimes we encounter problems in the assignment, we want to ask the lecturer, because our classmates may not know even if we ask them. But some of the lecturers are difficult to find. If you could find them, things would be fine, problems could be solved. If not, there would be problems in doing the assignment.”
