Improving Educational Attainment at a Bridge Program In Saudi Arabia

An intensive gap-analysis study conducted at a private university in Saudi Arabia that carefully assessed the knowledge motivation and organizational issues to help close and improve the educational gap at the foundation year program. Assumed knowledge motivation and organizational issues were extracted from related literature learning and motivation theories and personal knowledge. The analysis of data from this qualitative case study validated issues that led to recommended solutions. The proposed solutions provided concrete strategies and implementation plans for addressing the knowledge motivation and organizational needs to close the gap and improve educational attainment from the bridge program to the university’s academic program in Saudi Arabia. The study concludes with an evaluation framework for monitoring the effectiveness of the proposed solutions.
