A cross-sectional study exploring academic motivation among rehabilitation science students under different teaching approaches in China
2026
Overview
Chinese-foreign cooperative programs are increasingly important in rehabilitation education in mainland China. This study examined the academic motivation of final-year rehabilitation students and the associated factors, including teaching approach, gender, specific interests, and sleep habits. A cross-sectional online survey was conducted at Changsha Social Work College, including students from both domestic and cooperative programs. Academic motivation was assessed using the Academic Motivation Scale–College version in Chinese. In total, 79 domestic students and 32 cooperative students provided valid responses. A higher proportion of students in the cooperative program reported having specific interests (81.3% vs. 48.1%, χ² = 10.25,
p
< 0.01), whereas a lower proportion reported regular nap habits (53.1% vs. 75.9%, χ² = 5.58,
p
< 0.05) compared with students in the domestic program. Cooperative students had higher Self-Determined Index (SDI) scores than domestic students (6.38 ± 4.84 vs. 3.34 ± 4.43, T = 3.18,
p
< 0.01). Students with specific interests also had higher SDI scores (5.60 ± 4.74 vs. 2.33 ± 4.07, T = 3.81,
p
< 0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that the cooperative program (B = 2.11, 95% CI: 0.16 to 4.11,
p
< 0.05) and having specific interests (B = 2.69, 95% CI: 0.90 to 4.49,
p
< 0.01) were significantly associated with higher academic motivation. Gender, BMI, and sleep habits were not significantly associated with SDI scores.
