However, low assertiveness in students simultaneously creates educational dysfunction, cessation of learning, ability weakness and decrease in aptitude, so high assertiveness is important for students. As well, satisfaction and commitment is necessary for students to have positive feelings about their learning experiences and to develop continuing motivation to learn.
