How well a student believes they can do something will greatly impact their motivation toward study. Completion rates are one factor that are in turn, also impacted when a student loses their confidence and study momentum.

The Learner Motivation Manual is a series of quick and easy reads around some of the most common ‘barriers’ for students. It includes a self-help checklist, to encourage students to take ownership of their learning, and some basic information on things such as:

• Learning and assessment in a VET environment – and how this is different to school
• Typical reactions to study
• Stress management tips
• Sharing and managing information
• Staying positive and focused

The Manual contains space for students to make notes, and a calendar to help them plan learning activities.

The document is unlocked and ready to be contextualised for your RTO.
