| description | This study aims to investigate relationship between the contributing and prominent factors leading to UUM student‟s motivation in learning activities.A total sample of 377 students was included in the study.A questionnaire containing 35 statements was distributed randomly to the respondents.The data analysis was conducted using SPSS and AMOS software. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modelling (SEM) were performed on the samples.The findings showed that classroom-related factors, self-efficacy factor and family and peer‟s influences factor have significant and positive influence on students‟ learning motivation; with classroom-related factors being the dominant factor amongst the factors. This study provides useful guidelines
for university authorities to improve their student‟s motivation in learning activities which in turn enhance their academic performances. |
