Lacking Interest of Students in Study: A Sociological Analysis of the University of Sindh, Jamshoro
Education institutions are grappled with the issue of lacking interest of students in the study. Thus, this study was conducted to find out reasons for the lacking interest of students in the study. This was a quantitative research approach. The purposive sampling method was used as a judgement of the researcher to seek only low academic results students in order to furnish the research objectives. The scales were developed to measure the various concepts given in the form of hypothetic statements. The results show that the perceived teaching method was positively related to respondents' interest in the study. The low interest is further triggered by respondents' lack of intrinsic commitment to study. This study concludes that interest was lacking due to both motives intrinsic as well as extrinsic. It is recommended that teachers' pedagogical skills need to be improved, and teaching should be made more interactive so that the real purpose of education can be served.
