(1) Whether a topic or task is useful for achieving learning or life goals.
(2) The importance of a topic or task to the learner’s identity or sense of self.
(3) Whether a task is enjoyable or interesting.
(4) Whether a task is worth pursuing.
One positive outcome of learning about how students value education is the tie between success and the value they place on the experience. As students experience more success at a task or in the overall endeavor of learning, the value they place on to those activities can increase over time.
