Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The motivation levels of potential teachers in higher education and the learning strategies they use are contrasted in this study. A student's learning style and, therefore, their academic performance, are heavily influenced by their intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Strategies for learning might range from memorisation to analysis and synthesis. This impacts students' academic achievement. Therefore, the primary objective of this research is to examine the relationship between intrinsic motivation and the effectiveness of various learning strategies among future educators. Understanding these relationships can enable teachers to better support student engagement and academic success. By highlighting the role of educational psychology in shaping effective teaching methods, this study aims to enhance teacher training programs to better address students' diverse learning needs and promote improved study habits through intrinsic motivation.
