Kuwait university students’ perspectives on academic support-seeking and associated factors: a preliminary convergent mixed-methods study

A preliminary mixed-methods study at Kuwait University investigated students' perspectives on academic support-seeking, identifying factors influencing their engagement, attitudes, and barriers. The research aimed to characterize reasons for both seeking and avoiding academic support, using a newly developed questionnaire and convenience sampling.

Understanding student academic support-seeking behaviors is crucial for optimizing educational outcomes and institutional effectiveness. Identifying influencing factors and barriers allows for the development of targeted interventions and resources that enhance student success and retention, contributing to the overall quality and reputation of higher education institutions.

The study focuses on understanding academic support-seeking engagement and its related constructs among university students.
