In 2004 we researched a course on project management by asking
28 students to answer a questionnaire with 60 questions, 22 of
which considered the motivational orientation to attend a course
in regard of interest, competence, competition and course style.
Participation in the study was voluntary and 15 students turned
in the questionnaire both in the beginning and at the end of the
course. While at the beginning of the term we wanted to know
what motivated students to participate in a ‘‘typical’’ academic
course
