Abstract

Learning burnout would directly decide the learning outcome of a student is good or bad during four years in college. Learning burnout among undergraduate students in China is closely related to the degree of their major commitments. Different degrees of commitment could cause different levels of learning burnout. The purpose of this study is to understand how commitment to major influences learning burnout. The research showed that the major commitment is not good and the overall level of major commitment of undergraduates was 12.3061. In addition, each dimension of undergraduates’ learning burnout was lower than the average score. This illustrated that the higher degree of learning burnout in this case. Finally results show that the better major commitment the less learning burnout and there is a significant negative correlation between learning burnout and major commitment.
