Abstract
Students abilities to transfer from the community colleges into baccalaureate granting colleges and universities have become a global issue. The rise in students’ college attendance has brought about new challenges in the area of academic motivation depriving them from educational pursuit despite proper qualifications. This comparative-descriptive study has been designed in order to compare between military and non-military students in terms of educational adjustment and motivation power and their related subscales. Subjects were selected from four colleges in Tehran.100 students from each college were selected through random sampling, subsequently the total sample were 400 college students. Half of whom were military college students and the other half was non-military college students. In order to collect data the Bellâs adjustment questionnaire and the questionnaire of educational motivation were used. Comparison between military and non-military students in terms of various aspects of adjustment showed that there is a meaningful difference between military and nonmilitary students in terms of familial adjustment, hygienic adjustment and total adjustment (pâ¤0.01). Comparison between military and non-military students in terms of educational motivation power showed that there is meaningful difference in the level of pâ¤0.01 and was higher in military college students. Unlike non-military students, military students will definitely be working in areas relevant to their field of study. On one hand the motive to serve their country is stronger and that is why military studentsâ academic motive in meaningfully stronger than non-military students, maybe we need to increase motivation in non-military students with providing them job relevant to their field of study. The women Army population is not too high in IRAN so the problem related to this issue is not very serious at the moment. In order to prevent the upcoming problems in this issue we need a thorough studies in this field.

Summary
Considering the growing number of students attending college, new challenges are rearing their heads. According to Gray, about 80% of all jobs requirements call for a degree less than a four-year degree which clearly shows the feeble correlation between academic education and work force needs that may lead to a reduction of educational motivation. Such problems and relatively poor average performance of German students on the literary skills (2000) and mathematical skills (2003) and the wide variation in performance, with low-income students scoring poorly, have led to calls for reforms of the German educational system[4]
