Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The study aimed to explore the intrinsic motivation of students in the post-pandemic setting, on the specific factors: self-efficacy, social support, learning environment, goal orientation, and achievement anxiety. Using quantitative descriptive research design, the data was collected through a self-made research questionnaire administered to 338 respondents from the students of St. Francis Xavier College, Mount Carmel College of San Francisco, Agusan del Sur State College of Agriculture and Technology, and Philippine Normal University - Mindanao. Slovin’s formula was used to determine the appropriate sample size and stratified sampling was employed to divide the population into relevant subgroups. The study showed high level of intrinsic motivations of students in the post-pandemic learning environment particularly in the areas of social support and goal orientation. While majority of the respondents displayed high intrinsic motivation in all factors, some learners faced issues with self-efficacy and achievement anxiety.
