This study used the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) to assess the motivation and learning strategies of students in a self-paced developmental mathematics class. A total of 194 undergraduate students participated in this study. Descriptive statistics, correlation coefficients, and regression analysis were conducted to assess…

This quantitative study seeks to explore intrinsic motivation amongst students in post-secondary education. The sample includes 55 undergraduate students currently enrolled in a college of education teaching methods course. The researchers sought to explore the correlation between intrinsic motivation and key variables such as academic…

Learners' attempts to regulate their own motivation for studying in the face of tedious or difficult tasks is an important aspect of self-regulated learning. Therefore, motivation regulation has received increasing attention over the past few years, resulting in numerous publications using different definitions of the construct, samples,…

Effective learning design (LD) grounded in sound pedagogy is a critical driver of student success. Therefore, it is important to explore how LD of online learning environments influences student ability to manage their own learning. This understanding can inform the development of online programs that prioritize student-driven learning. Research…

Introduction: In higher education, the relationship between engagement in sports learning and intrinsic motivation is critical. Although sport benefits health and academic performance, its long-term motivational mechanisms remain unexplored. This study examines how intrinsic motivation influences sports participation, its trends, and its…

The present study explores the impact of different levels of competition involved in gamified learning on adult e-learners' intrinsic motivation, learning engagement, and language learning performance. One hundred and twenty participants were evenly and randomly assigned to two groups. A gamified learning procedure with a higher level of…

Task motivation is critical to learners' task performance. However, scant studies have examined learners' task motivation in the translation continuation task based on the "xu"-argument, an emerging view on language acquisition. This exploratory study examined how Chinese English as Foreign Language (EFL) learners' task motivation…

This article reports on an intervention study conducted to improve young Thai learners' motivation and attitudes towards take-home tests. The traditional use of summative tests in education has often led to increased pressure and demotivation among students. Based on formative assessment practices and motivational strategies, the study aimed to…

Conducting a survey research on demotivating factors in business English majors can enrich the theoretical research findings on demotivation and meanwhile help to explore effective methods to enhance the students' learning motivation. This study explores the construct of demotivating factors in business English majors in a Chinese university, the…

Math anxiety can significantly impair student learning outcomes. This is often due to a lack of self-regulated learning (SRL), leading to a reliance on external guidance. This systematic literature review aimed to increase existing knowledge on the role of SRL in reducing students' mathematics anxiety and to assess its impact on improving learning…

Introduction: There is evidence of the relationship between the academic achievement of university students and the learning styles and strategies they use. However, there are inconsistencies between the results of the different studies on the topic, making it difficult to identifying a profile that would allow the prediction of high academic…

This study applied a person-oriented approach to differentiate middle school students' academic achievement and psychological well-being. The profiles were identified according to their learning-related motivational beliefs (indicating how motivated they are to learn effectively) and the perceived effectiveness of learning strategies (about how…

After encountering students who lost motivation throughout the semester, and finding most students' questions focused on how to improve their grade rather than on understanding the material, we developed a gamified grading structure hoping to remove students' barriers to motivation in the classroom. A brief review of the literature on known…

This study assessed the motivation, learning strategies, and academic performance of Grade 11 modular-based students in General Mathematics in identified secondary schools as a basis for a proposed performance enhancement plan. There were 624 Grade 11 students across three public senior high schools in Cebu who were determined using stratified…

Constructing personalised and effective online language learning models based on individual personality differences is crucial in the field of education. However, there is little research on how to apply these models to students in science and engineering who have varying personality profiles. This study aimed to assess the validity of the Online…
