This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through an investigation of the six factors of Academic Intrinsic Motivation [AIM] as outlined by Shia (1998), namely the need to know, the need to achieve, peer acceptance, authority expectations, power motivation, and the fear of failure; this study sought to determine if any or all AIM factors influenced academic performance of students attending a 4-year public higher education institution in Ohio.A literature review was conducted with a focus on student motivation, and it was determined that few studies had focused on these six factors of academic intrinsic motivation.This study sought to determine what, if any, relationship existed among the factors of AIM and between academic performance and the factors of AIM for college students attending a public 4-year public higher education institution in Ohio. An online survey, the Revised Online AIM Survey (AIMS-R), was created from the original AIM questionnaire created by Shia (1998). A population of over 4,000 students was invited to participate in the AIMS-R survey and 664 responded, representing a response rate of 16.6%. Of those who responded, 528 completed all of the questions for the subscales of the AIMS-R survey, representing 13.2%, and were selected for inclusion in the data analysis. Four hundred and sixty two of the 528 participants completed the AIMS-R demographic questions, representing 11.6%, and these 462 complete responses were used to test the hypothesis statements for this study. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the results of the AIMS-R data.

Smith and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First generation students are a growing body in the overall student population enrolling in both public two-year higher education institutions and public four-year higher education institutions in the United States; yet, little research has been conducted to examine the initial motivational orientation of these students as they start their academic journey. Even less research explores motivational differences among both first generation students and non-first generation students enrolled in public two-year institutions in comparison to students enrolled in public four-year institutions. Self-determination theory is widely used in educational research to explore motivation among individuals and the factors that both enhance and decrease motivation in students. It is an effective theory in identifying a student's motivation towards education based on the three motivational orientations including intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, and amotivation. Motivation is important as there is a positive correlation between higher level of self-determined motivation and higher level of academic achievement. The purpose of this sequential explanatory study was to explore academic motivation of first-time, first-year freshman at a four-year and a two-year higher education institution to provide an analysis of self-determined motivational orientations between self-identified first generation students and non-first generation students. There were a total of 385 students included in the quantitative phase of the study and 14 students in the qualitative phase. Quantitative data analysis indicated first-time, first-year students on average are more extrinsically motivated (M = 25.26, SD = 3.47) with both student groups scoring higher averages in the extrinsic motivation - external regulation orientation (institutional type; M=25.26, SD = 3.47, generational status, M=25.25, SD= 3.46) than either of the other six orientations identified. The qualitative phase revealed 12 motivational factors which included: (1) Parental/Family influences, (2) Internal ambition, (3) Career focus/aspiration, (4) Adjustment, (5) Finances, (6) Internal struggle, (7) Time management, (8) Meeting new people, (9) Freedom/Becoming own person, (10) Campus environment, (11) Sports/Athletics, and (12) Other influences. An understanding of the differences between the motivational orientations and the factors that influence that motivation could inform the development of specialized programs for students identified with lower levels of self-determined motivation, and potentially increase overall academic achievement.

This book was released on 2012-02-23 with total page 839 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than two decades, the concept of student engagement has grown from simple attention in class to a construct comprised of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral components that embody and further develop motivation for learning. Similarly, the goals of student engagement have evolved from dropout prevention to improved outcomes for lifelong learning. This robust expansion has led to numerous lines of research across disciplines and are brought together clearly and comprehensively in the Handbook of Research on Student Engagement. The Handbook guides readers through the field’s rich history, sorts out its component constructs, and identifies knowledge gaps to be filled by future research. Grounding data in real-world learning situations, contributors analyze indicators and facilitators of student engagement, link engagement to motivation, and gauge the impact of family, peers, and teachers on engagement in elementary and secondary grades. Findings on the effectiveness of classroom interventions are discussed in detail. And because assessing engagement is still a relatively new endeavor, chapters on measurement methods and issues round out this important resource. Topical areas addressed in the Handbook include: Engagement across developmental stages. Self-efficacy in the engaged learner. Parental and social influences on engagement and achievement motivation. The engaging nature of teaching for competency development. The relationship between engagement and high-risk behavior in adolescents. Comparing methods for measuring student engagement. An essential guide to the expanding knowledge base, the Handbook of Research on Student Engagement serves as a valuable resource for researchers, scientist-practitioners, and graduate students in such varied fields as clinical child and school psychology, educational psychology, public health, teaching and teacher education, social work, and educational policy.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My goals for this study were to use Structure Equation Modeling (SEM) to: propose a conceptual model based on theoretical frameworks of student motivation variables, use of cognitive strategies, and use of self-regulation strategies affecting student academic performance; statistically examine each of the structural relationships among the above variables on student achievement; and, test for cultural differences between American and Korean community college students on the measurement model, factor means, and structure model. These SEM results provided support for four research hypotheses: (a) Students' reported motivational variable scores had significantly positive effects on students' reported use of self-regulation strategies for both the American and Korean community college students; (b) Students' reported motivational variable scores had significantly positive effects on students' reported use of cognitive strategies for both the American and Korean community college students; (c) Students' reported motivational variable scores significantly positively predicted students' academic achievement for both the American and Korean community college students; (d) Students' reported use of cognitive strategies was positively related to students' reported use of self-regulation strategies for both the American and Korean community college students. However, these results did not provide statistical support for the four research hypotheses; (e) Students' reported use of cognitive strategies did not significantly predict students' academic achievement in the overall model for both the American and Korean community college students; (f) Student's reported use of learning skills strategies did not significantly predict students' academic achievement in the overall model for both American and Korean community college students. Based on the results of the current study, many future studies can be suggested. First of all, future studies need to have various measurements to assess student academic achievement. GPA is only one measure for students' academic achievement or success. Future research should consider alternative measurements such as peer or teacher evaluation, students' satisfaction, problem-solving ability in the context of the course student are taking, ability to transfer and so on. If research includes more alternative measurements to measure student success, research may avoid the limitation of using only GPA as student success.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Higher education administrators, faculty, and other stakeholders desire positive student outcomes, such as persistence and academic achievement, from their student populations. Undergraduate students’ cocurricular involvement and academic motivation have previously been shown to separately have a positive correlation with such outcomes. This correlational study aimed to investigate the relationship directly between undergraduate students’ academic motivation and cocurricular involvement. Students’ academic motivation was measured using the Academic Motivation Scale College Version (AMS-C 28) and their cocurricular involvement was measured using involvement subscales from the College Student Experiences Questionnaire (CSEQ). These instruments were administered through an online survey platform to a convenience sample of full-time traditional undergraduate students enrolled at a Midwest Christian liberal arts college in the spring of 2020. Analyses were performed using the Pearson product moment coefficient to test for correlations between variables. The effect size was reported using Pearson’s r for each of the four null hypotheses. Results of this study indicate students’ academic motivation has a significant and positive relationship with their cocurricular involvement in the areas of clubs and organization involvement, course learning engagement, campus faculty experiences, and campus facility use. Recommendations for future research include repeating a similar study during a standard academic semester and using other measurements of cocurricular involvement focusing on students’ interactions with their peers, faculty, and environment for investigation.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High rates of college dropout are an ever-growing concern for educators and students alike. The most widely used predictors of college achievement, which heavily influence retention, are prior ability measurements, such as students' high school grade point average and SAT scores. It is possible that other, less commonly examined, variables exist that better explain retention. Survey data were collected from 589 first-year college students to examine predictors of 4-, 5- and 7- year college retention and graduation rates. Variables included the use of learning strategies, aspects of motivation (task value, self efficacy, test anxiety), adherence to goal orientation (mastery, performance approach, performance avoidance), prior achievement measures (high school GPA and SAT scores), first-semester college GPA, and demographic variables (gender, race, on-campus living situation). Students completed the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) and the Patterns of Adaptive Learning Scales (PALS). Results of multiple hierarchical logistic regressions indicated that the strongest predictors of college graduation include race, high school GPA, having a mastery goal orientation, and first-semester college GPA. Implications for high stakes college admissions decisions are discussed.
