i am in my last year of my degree and i want to start preparing for my master. and i am interested in the psychological and social factors that leads students to waste their university time and not getting the most out their university. but i do not know what are the concepts or theories that reflects this ideas.
issue like the lack of reading culture, intellectual development, massive waste of time. i still do not know what they exactly present. and which psychological or educational concepts that reflect it.
there cannot be a single tailor made answer for your question. there are various factors which influence their reading habits and wastage of time of the students. it may be both the intrinsic as well as external factors and it is possible to overcome from those challenges but most important is those variables/markers of certain behaviors are to be identified scientifically.

. i think the concept or the theories that i did find after searching is students engagement. my whole research concern for my master is to understand what are the things that may not allow the students to get the most out of their university. and i find that these concept might provide a theoretical background for my investigation. the reason why i am interested in this issue is the fact that i see university to be a waste of time for the majority of students. in my previous studies ( which still waiting to be published). i found that many students do not know what they are looking for, and they do not have the right attitude. so i want to explore this issue deeply. my ultimate goal is to help students to get the most out of their study. thank you a lot for your consideration to answer my question. i deeply appreciate it.
any theory you evolved must be supported with some empirical evidence and that is is reasons why I said to have a proper study to drive any conclusion and recommend suitable interventions.if you had some study please share/disclose the same to have useful discussions. Many times our beliefs does not fit in the factual matrix. overall, you may find difference of opinion in a academic discussion but it will be always useful.

thank you for your engagement. after reading your comments i come to realize that my starting point and objective were quiet naïve. so i think it is better if i specify what are the variables that i am interested in. so i am consider to focus on the technological and existential relationship with students engagement( or more specifically intellectual engagement on higher-education). i am not sure whether this idea is as much naïve as the previous one or not. but i am still trying to figure out what i am looking for and how i am going to investigated it. so thank you a lot for your comments.- Badges
