Engage and Conquer: An Online Empirical Approach into Whether Intrinsic or Extrinsic Motivation Leads to More Enhanced Students’ Engagement

Abstract

This paper reviews research literature in the area of student engagement and motivation and discusses the findings of an experiment which examined the effects of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation on the learning process of foreign language vocabulary with the use of a film extract. The extract was part of an online specially-built platform designed to enhance students' engagement through a series of interactive activities. The article focuses on the relationship between motivation and engagement and looks into the differences in performance between students who are more intrinsically or extrinsically motivated. Based on our findings, we argue that intrinsic motivation leads to more active engagement on the part of learners, which is a pathway to deeper learning and better academic achievements in foreign language learning.

Examining the attitudes towards further education of students in the bachelor training programmes of higher education

“…Originality/value -The authors conducted their research in Hungarian higher education at seven universities between 2019 and 2020 to determine the influencing factors of career choice decisions, the degree of students' satisfaction with their selected course, their attitude towards higher education and learning, their job opportunities after graduation and the extent to which their decision is made according to their labour market orientation. Although the study relies on data from a single nation, the similarity between the findings of previous international (Hovdhaugen and Ulriksen, 2021;Sikyr et al, 2019); and Hungarian (Berezvai, 2022;Kiss and Varga, 2022) research suggests that an international sample would have produced similar results.…”

Digital Storytelling in Education: A Transmedia Integration Approach for the Non-Developers

“…In summing up the desired features and functionalities of the learning resources as they were extracted in the analysis phase, students' engagement and motivation are considered prominent [59]. Hence, audiovisual and spatiotemporal activities of interaction favor the targeted edutaining storytelling by stimulating vivid and rich-media experiences [13][14][15][16]24,54,60].…”

Exploring College Students' Deeper Learning Perceptions in the Blended Learning Environment

“…It requires students to examine the past, present, and future learning processes, and to look inward (Mumford & Dikilitaş, 2020). Nelson et al (2006) suggested that reflective learning is an important indicator of students' deeper learning, which benefits students in many ways and enables them to achieve better academic performance and learn more actively and deeply (Kanellopoulou & Giannakoulopoulos, 2020). For instance, actively monitoring learning processes and using appropriate strategies boosts learning content comprehension (Heilporn et al, 2021), and reflective practice encourages rational decision-making and positive learning behavior (Colomer et al, 2020).…”
