Factors Affecting Student Burnout and Academic Achievement in Multiple Enrollment Programs in Taiwan's Technical-Vocational Colleges
Yang, Hui-Jen
International Journal of Educational Development, v24 n3 p283-301 May 2004
Instead of the 44-year joint entrance examination held so far in Taiwan, multiple enrollment programs are a more recent policy of the Ministry of Education to reform the deficiencies of the above mentioned examination. However, the results of multiple enrollment programs in reducing student pressure are not clear. Therefore, the main purpose of this research is to investigate the impacts of multiple enrollment programs on student burnout and academic achievement among technical-vocational college students. The result demonstrates that multiple enrollment programs have a significant effect on student burnout and academic achievement. Student burnout has a significant negative effect on academic achievement.
