As I mentioned before in Abstract, except for 44% of students who admitted they are really passive in class, 38% of UTE students said that they are really willing to become active students in learning, but in reality, when they attended class, there are so few opportunities, activities for them to participate in.

In term of giving some suggestions for their own studying also for the lecturers, most of the respondents manifested …show more content…
It is conducted by the judgment to identify the view of UTE students about passive learning habits. Through all the concrete results, it is undeniable that the proportion of UTE students’ passivity in learning is still high which arises from laziness and shyness; however, with positive attitudes toward receiving knowledge and self-evaluating learning process UTE students express sincere hopes for better changes in learning styles. We once again cannot deny the decisive factors that play the vital part in causing students’ passivity. Therefore, taking up some constructive suggestions is necessary to help students to be more creative and positive in
