Vianchá Pinzón, Mildred Alexandra; Parra Guarnizo, José Alirio – Electronic Journal of Research in Educational Psychology, 2023
Introduction: The discussion around academic achievement in the context of distance education has raised the need to develop studies that allow identifying the variables that best predict it. The goal of this study was to analyze the fit of a structural equations model that assumes that sociodemographic variables, personality traits, motivation…

Keiko C. P. Bostwick; Emma C. Burns; Andrew J. Martin; Rebecca J. Collie; Tracy L. Durksen – Journal of Experimental Education, 2025
In the current longitudinal study, we investigated the structure of students' (N = 1,469) specific growth constructs and their broader growth orientation using a bifactor exploratory structural equation model. We also examined the extent to which each of these components was associated with gains in students' academic and nonacademic outcomes…

Sayed Masood Haidari; Ayhan Koçoglu; Sedat Kanadli – Journal on Efficiency and Responsibility in Education and Science, 2023
This meta-analysis examined whether motivation mediated the relationship between self-efficacy, locus of control, and academic achievement. Thirty-seven studies providing correlation estimates for 40 different samples were included in the analysis. The data from these studies were fitted to three models using a two-stage structural equation…

Lopez, J.; Johnson, C.; Dai, L.; Jones, M. H.; Nodine, M.; Cooper, D.; Eckel, S. – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2023
The present study examined the convergent validity between two frequently used achievement goal instruments: Patterns of Adaptive Learning Scales (PALS) and the Achievement Goal Questionnaire 3 x 2 (AGQ 3 x 2). Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation models tested for relationships both within and across the scales in a sample of…

Hodis, Flaviu-Adrian – Social Psychology of Education: An International Journal, 2020
This research used the expectancy-value theory to examine the extent to which three classes of motivation antecedents predicted secondary-school students' expectancies of success in English. To this end, it investigated four general motivation orientations, two school-related achievement motives, as well as autonomous and controlled reasons…

Jørgensen Olsen, Thomas Mangor; Mehus, Ingar – Education Sciences, 2022
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between differential achievement goals and self-regulated learning, as well as motivational mechanisms' consequences for performance in physical education. This was done by using the 2 × 2 achievement goals framework, and the cyclical model for self-regulated learning. The participants (N =…

Núñez-Regueiro, Fernando; Juhel, Jacques; Bressoux, Pascal; Nurra, Cécile – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
Part of the evidence used to corroborate school motivation theories relies on modeling methods that estimate cross-lagged effects between constructs, that is, reciprocal effects from one occasion to another. Yet, the reliability of cross-lagged models rests on the assumption that students do not differ in their trajectories of growth over time…

Rosenzweig, Emily Q.; Wigfield, Allan; Gaspard, Hanna; Guthrie, John T. – Journal of Research in Reading, 2018
Interventions can enhance students' motivation for reading, but few researchers have assessed the effects of the specific motivation-enhancing practices that comprise these interventions. Even fewer have evaluated how students' perceptions of different intervention practices impact their later motivation and academic outcomes. In this study, we…

Papi, Mostafa; Khajavy, Gholam Hassan – Language Learning, 2021
We tested a theoretical model that integrated regulatory focus, second language (L2) self-guides, anxiety and enjoyment, eager and vigilant L2 use, and L2 achievement. We collected data from 324 students learning English as a foreign language. Structural equation modeling results showed that (a) the promotion focus positively predicted ideal…

Rubén Trigueros; José Manuel Aguilar-Parra; Ana Manzano-León; Noelia Navarro; Isabel Mercader-Rubio – SAGE Open, 2024
New technologies are changing the way we see and understand university education, with the advent of new, more flexible organization methods capable of reaching people via class formats like Small Private Online Courses (SPOCs). However, studies which have analyzed these types of courses have focused on their implementation and not on the…

Greene, Jeffrey A.; Bernacki, Matthew L.; Plumley, Robert D.; Kuhlmann, Shelbi L.; Hogan, Kelly A.; Evans, Mara; Gates, Kathleen M.; Panter, Abigail T. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2023
Undergraduate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) students' motivations have a strong influence on whether and how they will persist through challenging coursework and into STEM careers. Proper conceptualization and measurement of motivation constructs, such as students' expectancies and perceptions of value and cost (i.e.,…

Engelschalk, Tobias; Steuer, Gabriele; Dresel, Markus – Educational Psychology, 2017
Effective regulation of motivation can be theoretically explained by both the extent of motivational regulation strategies used (quantity) and their optimal implementation (quality). Researchers have not yet analysed the significance of both aspects for learning success simultaneously. In the present study, 188 students were presented with…

Almulla, Mohammed Abdullatif – Cogent Education, 2023
This study looks at whether creativity and critical thinking help students solve problems and improve their grades by mediating the link between 21st century skills (learning motivation, cooperativity, and interaction with peers, engagement with peers, and a smart classroom environment). The mediating relationship between creativity and critical…

Kafaji, Mohammed – Industry and Higher Education, 2020
In a world of globalization and transparency, many academic institutions are prioritizing the accreditation of their teaching and learning environments in order to achieve a strategic advantage over their competitors. This research examines the perceived benefits of accreditation from students' perspectives and, in particular, assesses the extent…

Wu, Zebing – College Student Journal, 2019
College students are more autonomous and self-determined with their academic experience. They are motivated and engaged academically to obtain desired outcomes and meet their psychological needs. By using structural equation models to analyze data derived from three cohorts of the Wabash National Study of Liberal Arts Education, this study aims to…
