Students from over 50 nationalities come to study at UNE. Papua New Guinea is one of the 50 countries represented at UNE. This study is about the experiences of 35 Papua New Guineans who studied at the University of New England during the 1996 and 1997 academic years. There were four aims of this study. They were to identify: ( i ) the types of personal and academic difficulties experienced by Papua New Guineans studying at UNE; ( ii ) the coping strategies employed by these students in resolving the difficulties they have experienced; ( iii ) who these students prefer to get help from; and ( iv ) the characteristics of the students' helpers. The thesis constitutes seven chapters - Introduction to the study, Background information on the participants, Literature Review, Research Plan and the Methodology, the Data Analysis and Results, the Discussion on the results and finally the Conclusion and Recommendations. The data was collected using a survey questionnaire, as the main data collecting method. There were additional informal interviews and subsequent information collected from participant observation. | Publication Type: | Thesis Masters Research | Rights Statement: | Copyright 1997 - Monica Kep Katherine Pusal | HERDC Category Description: | T1 Thesis - Masters Degree by Research |
