For those of you doing research using surveys - this is how to conduct research using surveys. It's still not perfect; being "based on information from nearly 380,000 randomly selected first-year and senior students at 722 four-year colleges and universities in the U.S." it looks at students from only one country in the world. But the numbers are impressive. This comment is interesting: "The third and fifth findings remind me of Csikzentmihalyi's research, which shows that challenge is a crucial part of learning and of enjoying that learning. As Csikszentmihalyi states: It is not that students cannot learn, it is that they do not wish to."
