Influence of motivation on academic performance: an analysis of motivational assessment in mathematics learning

Abstract

The objective of the study consisted of relating motivation with academic performance in mathematics in schoolchildren in northern Colombia, through the use of Pearson's correlation coefficient, applying the motivational assessment of the learning process (EMPA) questionnaire, to establish the levels of extrinsic and intrinsic motivation of the 65 students belonging to the sample. Academic performance was obtained through second source information provided by the academic coordination of the institution understudy, a quantitative and correlational approach was used. The results show a significant negative correlation in the dimensions of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation with academic performance. Given this, new lines of research are proposed, especially accompaniment by parents and guardians, and socioeconomic characteristics and their relationship to academic motivation.

Acquisition of Program Graduate Traits of Teacher Interns in a Philippine State University: Implications for Elementary Teacher Education Management

“…The result of this study entails the teacher interns' commitment to improving their self-efficacy, grade consciousness, and study skills, as well as how actively they engage in their school-related activities. This also confirms the statement of Miñano and Campo (2014), who emphasize the important role of intrinsic drive in achieving extraordinary academic achievements (Martínez-Ariza et al, 2022;Miñano & Campo, 2014). A strong desire to learn could contribute to increased performance and academic achievement (Cabuquin & Abocejo, 2023;Liu & Chiang, 2019).…”

“Virtual” education in confinement: An iceberg to study

“…In "normal" times, it was difficult to perceive the accompaniment of families in the training processes of their children, especially of the most disadvantaged social classes (26). Just as confinement has been traumatic for many households, others have taken advantage of it to share more with the family and realize that they are an important agent in the educational process of their children and that their motivation and academic performance depend to some extent (32)(33)(34).…”

Assessment of the teaching performance favors to creativity in a sample of Colombian public and private educational institutions

“…There is no doubt that the teacher plays a crucial role in educational quality, since he is in charge of creating favorable learning environments for the development of creative and meaningful thinking in the classroom (Martínez-Ariza et al, 2022). For this reason, it is necessary to identify the practical aspects of teaching performance in the classroom, in order to carry out the processes of initial and continuous teacher training (Chandra, 2018;Fan & Cai, 2022).…”
