Abstract

Although it has been proven that the classroom experience is enhanced when students come prepared to class, there is insufficient evidence on students’ perspectives about what motivates them to prepare for class. This qualitative phenomenology study included records review from 130 accelerated second-degree undergraduate nursing students and a focus group and interviews to discover what motivates students to prepare for class. The data analysis revealed five prominent themes: knowing what to study, deep learning, accountability, getting into the textbook, and content engagement. The study validated several interventions that successfully motivate students to prepare for class.
