| Inhoud: |
A questionnaire was sent to full-time mature students studying within higher education so as to identify their characteristics and examine their expectations and experiences. The results showed that sixty-five per cent of respondents entered higher education for career purposes, although the percentage was lower for females and declined with age. All mature students anticipated encountering more problems adapting to higher education and of an academic nature prior to their studies than were actually experienced whilst females anticipated more problems than males but actually experienced fewer. Further all students received greater benefits than they had anticipated and this was especially true of females. Only seven per cent of respondents indicated that successful completion of their course of study would not lead to employment whilst only fifteen per cent stated that they would definitely not return to undertake further qualifications should they not find employment. |
